SYLLABLE OF DOLOUR

                For the whole space that’s in the tyrant’s grasp,
                And the rich East to boot.
                (Shakespeare, Macbeth IV. iii.)

glued old calabash^laughter on the^inside only where
it hurts perspective^please believe this^the lake sunk
towns drowned fairs^hypothermia naps cobalt^whisht non temere
