A sprawling, fragmentary poem fragment filled with archaic spellings and imagery about wine, death, and memory. The text leaps between lines about toasts to the dead, the impact of war and aging, and scattered references to mothers, storms, and public street scenes, all in a wearied, marching cadence.
A vivid reminiscence of a youth and his lively cousin Lucy, filled with playful chases and pranks. The narrator recalls near-drowning escapes and a kiss chase, then reflects on the deep affection and the shifting feelings after a perilous tree-climb incident. He notes Lucy’s bright spirit, humor, and the social attention she drew, while contrasting it with later questions of propriety and memory. Also includes scattered editorial notes on health and study.
A rambling 19th century tale from Albany describes a tall peculiar man aboard a North River steamboat who fretted passengers by loudly ringing a bell. The prank grew chaotic as the crew and riders assumed danger, until a $5 bribe offered for cash and passage to New York ended the disturbance.
