And tell not me the cause o’ this, their flight.

My brain grows hot, I can no longer bear it.

Forbid his presence, too! O! I am distracted!

If sleep will quiet me, I’ll to the poppy,

And with its juices drench these fev’rous lips!

Yes! I ha’ need of med’cine and of comfort!

Again, my wits do wander: I’ll retire;

And lest the bleak winds battle with my head,

I’ll to my couch, and lay me on its pillow.
