Notes

  • Editor's note: The ancients used to make their slaves drunk, so that their sons, seeing what abject fools they became when 'under the influence,' might avoid like excesses. That also, it must be presumed, is why 'Alastor' wrote these lines of revelry and riot, to prevent Tasmanian friends from indulging in such frivolities.
