[The wild and wavy event]

The wild and wavy event
now chintz at the window
 
was revolution . . .
Adams
 
to Miss Abigail Smith:
You have faults
 
You hang your head down
like a bulrush
 
you read, you write, you think
but I drink Madeira
 
to you
and you cross your Leggs
 
while sitting.
(Later:)
 
How are the children?
If in danger run to the woods.
 
Evergreen o evergreen
how faithful are your branches.
