An Unfinished Rhapsody.

The Devil returned to hell by two,

And he stay’d at home till five;

When he dined on some homicides done in ragout,

And a rebel or so in an Irish stew,

And sausages made of a self-slain Jew—

And bethought himself what next to do,

“And,” quoth he, “I’ll take a drive.

I walk’d in the morning, I’ll ride to night;

In darkness my children take most delight,
