LAUGHTER HOLDING BOTH HIS SIDES

Ay, thou varlet!— Laugh away!

All the world's a holiday!

Laugh away, and roar and shout

Till thy hoarse tongue lolleth out!

Bloat thy cheeks, and bulge thine eyes

Unto bursting; pelt thy thighs

With thy swollen palms, and roar

As thou never hast before!

Lustier! wilt thou! peal on peal!

Stiflest? Squat and grind thy heel —

Wrestle with thy loins, and then

Wheeze thee whiles, and whoop again!
