Stationed as a lyric fragment from EPSILORE the lines praise a missing miss and lament earthly limits. It references a wild Rougle sea of Nestray and Endymion, with a queen of night guiding the way and comforting thoughts that ease life’s rough sea.
A collage of home remedies and curious anecdotes appears, including a candle trick to keep a night light by salting the wick, a copperas and hogs lard salve, a zinc ointment for a bronze up face, and gargles from various substances. Also notes vermicelli soup, a mock court exchange about a debt, an Essex churchyard inscription, peasant dialect vignettes, and local gossip about Shanghai roosters sold in Albany.
A fragmentary court scene from North Carolina records a riot at Capt. Rice’s and a witness roll with digressive anecdotes. The testimony shifts to a satirical sketch of a working girl and moral lecturing, as the audience sparses through tangled reminiscences and sermons.
