Why have you taught—that he might so complete
His awful panoply
From your cast playthings—why,
This dreadful childish babble to his tongue,
Dreadful and sweet?
FOOTNOTES
{55} NOTE—I have throughout this poem used an asterisk to indicate the
caesura in the middle of the line, after the manner of the old Saxon
section-point.
