With flowers and carvings mysticall and rare:
All show'd the builder's, crav'd the seer's care.

Last night, he said, I slept well
except for two uncanny dreams
that came before the change of weather
when I rose and opened all
the shutters to let warm wind feather
with wet plumage through my rooms.

With a seat pulled out to run
Corn whiskey down from the hills,
