While I underneath catch

The dust, and their laughter;

And would not remove till all was destroyed,

As if 'twas my anguish the ruffians enjoyed.

'Again in a hurry you'll not build,' said they,

As lifting they bore me with speed far away,

Though roaring and screaming with pain.

They saw I was fainting yet checked not their pace;

And left me at last in a lone barren place,

Where shelter I looked for in vain.
