Lityerses

Twilight stifled the valley wearily
And from the hillside, spattered with fragments
Chipped from a broken sun, a cracked breath
Of dead and brittle song tossed its bones—
Ringing like dream-armor in a sleepy world:
As must have rung the harvest-song of Linos
Luring the benighted wayfarer to a death
Of bloody water in a heap of stones.

Cosway Frazer & Baldwin of Egypts Lake
Fear to associate with Blake
This Life is a Warfare against Evils
They heal the sick he casts out devils
Hayley Flaxman & Stothard are also in doubt
Lest their Virtue should be put to the rout
One grins [one] tother spits & in corners hides
And all the [Righteous] Virtuous have shewn their backsides
