Upon the house's topmost height,
With whitewash'd walls and plaster floor.html">floor.
To admit a single chair and table:
A smoky grate my fire to hold:
To melt the icedrop on one's nose;
Full half the spacious room and more.
A window vainly stuff'd about,
So crazy, that the panes proclaim
A broken chair without a back;
One end sustain'd by wooden pegs;
The work of, Sir, your humble servant;
A glass decanter and a tumbler,
Luxurious, with the limpid wave.
And saw'd by me in all directions;
Swears nothing but a doll could use 'em.

Scales, quadrants, prisms, and cobbler's awls,
Octavos, folios, quartos, twelves;

And organ works, and broken pedals;
Though soon of that employ I grew sick);

And after pitch upon a name,
To christen Chaucer's busto Homer,
Will mark them well.html">well from Joan, and Juno,)
But Neck might answer just as well,
With Chatham and with Cicero.
Then all around, in just degree,
Of mighty men and eke of women,
I call my garret classic ground.
The ideal flights of Madam Brain.
Can cramp the energies of mind!
I've friends, and 't will contain them all;
That these it will no longer hold,
I shall not then be fit to live.
Down the sultry arc of day
