HAD I but WALPOLE'S wit, I'd write A quatrain here to-day Should turn the wig of PRIOR white, And make e'en HORACE gray; Or had I STANHOPE'S pen (the same That once he lent to YOUNG), I would as neat a couplet frame As e'er was said or sung; But since I've not, I can't, you know; The page must go without it; This is my latest gift; and so... And so, that's all about it! |
