Assuredly we seem to sink most abruptly, not to say burlesquely, and almost as in a medley, from this couplet to
Sometimes old Quimbey would fairly flee the town, and betake himself in a towering rage to his deserted hearth, to brood futilely over the ashes, and devise impotent schemes of vengeance.
