Thou grateful compound of strange contradictions!

Filling the brain with Fancy's vivid fictions:

Thou castle-building wight!

Urging Imagination's airy flight;

Chasing blue devils from their dismal revels;

Spurning this sombre world of selfish sadness,

And changing sounds of woe to notes of gladness:

Call'd by whatever name,

Rum, Rack, or Toddy,—thou soul without a body!

Thy welcome is the same.
