Send not to me the mirthful strain, T. idle mockery: B'U let me hear the winds complain, "When darkness broods upon the main, And tempests vex the se i. Give me a duelling in the wild, v)r on some lonely shore. Where treicherv hath ne'er bcguil'd The iv let mo pass my days, exiled And meet with man no more Oh never more, oh never more.
