LOVE'S NIGHT-WALK. Downward was the wheeling Bear Driven by the waggoner : Men by powerful sleep opprest Gave their busy troubles rest : Love in this still depth of night Lately at my house did light ; Where perceiving all fast lock'd, At the door he boldly knock'd. " Who's that, " said I, "that does... keep Such a noise, and breaks my sleep?"
