But Adeline was not indifferent: for

(Now for a common-place!) beneath the snow,

As a Volcano holds the lava more

Within—et cætera. Shall I go on?—No!

I hate to hunt down a tired metaphor,

So let the often-used Volcano go.

Poor thing! How frequently, by me and others,

It hath been stirred up till its smoke quite smothers!
