most of my companions

most of my companions   have been
going in different directions


I attempted to accompany them,
but my head whirled round,
my eyes, and my skin was parched with the heat of fever.


as if by instinct,


. I was


recalled to action. I started up and re-
solved to return   with all possible speed.
I must return by
morning,   . I
experienced
relief from   the overflowing misery


. I looked
up,   in my happier


moment,   I saw
a great and
sudden change. The sun   shine.

most of my companions have been
going in different directions

I attempted to accompany them,
but my head whirled round,
my eyes, and my skin was parched with the heat of fever.

. I was

recalled to action. I started up and re-
solved to return with all possible speed.
I must return by
morning, . I
experienced
relief from the overflowing misery

. I looked
up, in my happier

moment, I saw
