��XLII. PROBLEMS.

T) RING me the sunset in a cup,

Reckon the morning's flagons up,

And say how many dew ; Tell me how far the morning leaps, Tell me what time the weaver sleeps

Who spun the breadths of blue !

Write me how many notes there be In the new robin's ecstasy

Among astonished boughs ; How many trips the tortoise makes, How many cups the bee partakes,

The debauchee of dews !
