In furs, for the wind-draught is strong:

With a flint chip a deer-horn splitting,

While he mournfully murmurs a song:

'See my face swollen up like the devil!

Remark how in wind, as it spins,

The history of Europe primæval

With rheumatics and toothache begins!

'It is true that with stone-axe employment,

Or with celts I can hammer my way,

But no rational means of enjoyment
