Sigh forth a satisfaction might bestir

Even those tufts of tree-tops to the South

I' the distance where the green dies off to gray,

Which, easy of conjecture, front the Place;

He eyes them, elbows wide, each hand to cheek.

His fellow, the much older—either say

A youngish-old man or man oldish-young—

Sits at the table: wicks are noisome-deep

In wax, to detriment of plated ware;

Above—piled, strewn—is store of playing-cards,
