The rest, his tenderest effort o'er,
He bears in safety to the shore.
Draggled and slow, the Spa they pass:
But Tottergait declines his glass—
Of water he has had enough,
In language medical—quant. suff.;
And exercise he finds may be
Ta'en to excess: air only he,
No longer anxious to unite 'em,
Would still enjoy ad infinitum.
The steps they reach, they climb—not lightly
As they descended gay and sprightly:
Edmund his arm to Ella lends,
And the Cornelian party ends.
He bears in safety to the shore.
Draggled and slow, the Spa they pass:

Of water he has had enough,
In language medical—quant. suff.;
And exercise he finds may be
Ta'en to excess: air only he,
No longer anxious to unite 'em,
Would still enjoy ad infinitum.
