Devonshire Roads Annotated

The indignant Bard composed this furious ode,
As tired he dragg'd his way thro' Plimtree road!
&nbsp       &nbspCrusted with filth and stuck in mire
&nbsp       &nbspDull sounds the Bard's bemudded lyre;
&nbsp       &nbspNathless Revenge and Ire the Poet goad
&nbsp       &nbspTo pour his imprecations on the road.

&nbsp       &nbspCurst road! whose execrable way
&nbsp       &nbspWas darkly shadow'd out in Milton's lay,
&nbsp       &nbspWhen the sad fiends thro' Hell's sulphureous roads
&nbsp       &nbspTook the first survey of their new abodes;
&nbsp       &nbspOr when the fall'n Archangel fierce
&nbsp       &nbspDar'd through the realms of Night to pierce,
&nbsp       &nbspWhat time the Bloodhound lur'd by Human scent
&nbsp       &nbspThro' all Confusion's quagmires floundering went.

Nor cheering pipe, nor Bird's shrill note
Around thy dreary paths shall float;
Their boding songs shall scritch-owls pour
To fright the guilty shepherds sore,
Led by the wandering fires astray
Thro' the dank horrors of thy way!
While they their mud-lost sandals hunt
May all the curses, which they grunt
In raging moan like goaded hog,
Alight upon thee, damnéd Bog!
