ALT A poem about a hangover: Next Morning An Extempore What means this fury in my veins? This fire that passes through my brains Ah me! my head! my heart! My pulses beat, I scarce can speak; Dry are my palms, my nerves unstrung And every sinew weak. Now nauseous qualms my bosom heave, I sicken with sad revoking pain, Too exquisite to name! In every motion eyeballs swim; A languor creeps on every limb; Cold damps anoint my frame.
