XXXIII + 

How in the country pass this time? + 

Walking? The landscape tires the eye + 

In winter by its blank and dim + 

And naked uniformity. + 

On horseback gallop o’er the steppe! + 

Your steed, though rough-shod, cannot keep + 

His footing on the treacherous rime + 

And may fall headlong any time. + 

Alone beneath your rooftree stay + 

And read De Pradt or Walter Scott! + 

Keep your accounts! You’d rather not? + 

Then get mad drunk or wroth; the day + 

Will pass; the same to-morrow try⁠— + 

You’ll spend your winter famously! + 
