4. Oyster days begin. Milton's Paradise Lost. 11. Dog days end.
Barking

Essex.
Tom was a martyr—but it was to spirits, wine, and prog;
The name that people called him by was always—Jolly Dog!
He died of surfeit—and his friends, all at a funeral splendid,
Wept tears of pious grief to find his jolly-dog days ended!
