    What if in Scotland's wilds we viel'd our head,
    Where tempests whistle round the sordid bed;
    Where the rug's two-fold use we might display,
    By night a blanket, and a plaid by day.

And summer is near its close--

And dusk, and dew, and home again!

The varnish'd clock that click'd behind the door;
The chest contriv'd a double debt to pay,
A bed by night, a chest of drawers by day.
