And bid him run his neck to save !
84 The Deadly Nightshade.
(20) Still to the poor is his appeal.
And they his mild entreaty spurn : Some whisper, Be a man and steal ; Some bid him to the gallows turn.
Child-like he credits all he hears.
And rests his troubled heart in tears.
(21 ) He sleeps, but oft starts up in fear, For his dark mother's shadow coils About his visions ; ever near.
It dogs his steps, his slumber foils.
Yet are there moments in his dreams When air-piled plenty on him gleams.
...(22) Hope, 'mid those shapes of famine sent, Smiled on him; — she is Childhood's bride!
The mother's image, o'er him bent, Could not the angel wholly hide, — Kind Hope; — her halo o'er him plays.
And all but hunger's pang allays.
The Deadly Nightshade. 85 (23) Then did he long for once to taste The reeking viands, as their smell From cellar gratings ran to waste ; Whose gusts the passing crowd repel.
Like Beauty with a rose regaled, The grateful vapour he inhaled.
( 24) Less favoured than the dog outside, He lingers by some savoury mass ; He watches mouths that open wide, And sees them eating through the glass.
