Fills out the homely quickset screens | D |

The swamp where humm'd the dropping snipe | E |
With moss and braided marish pipe | E |

Put forth and feel a gladder clime ' | - |

Thro' silence and the trembling stars | M |
Comes Faith from tracts no feet have trod | N |
And Virtue like a household god | N |

Promising empire such as those | O |
Once heard at dead of night to greet | P |
Troy's wandering prince so that he rose | O |
With sacrifice while all the fleet | P |
Had rest by stony hills of Crete | P |
