      The favourite of all who know How seas and skies can banish woe—Even in winter ' s frost and snow . -Read me aright ye constant guessers pray , Else you will never reach me any way ;

      Above all take expression , lest you be Lost in long trains , and never reach the sea . A queer remark has oft been made of me—Near to the truth I own it too to be—Strangely enough , though on two feet I walk , When younger upon three I used to stalk TTvr' ^ rifinnallv lr a > » ^* ncr . ^~ ___ T- \ iif oe rv » ir -fciTYt o

In my first foot a Radical you see , Sever his head—you'll be what you will see . To northern tongues a bridge would seem to span In single arch just half across my letters ; Now cut off the last stone , add what you can Yet find of fashion in me—you ' ve what fetters , As all our poets swear Have never bound , though they have bound his betters .

      A joke which I consider rich and rare , Put by stern facts—fitly might those who spoke it Put it—just simply in their pipes and smoke it ; Yet there is something left within . me still , Nor need he miss the way who has the will ; Either unto a hermit ' s lone retreat , Where silence reigns , or where , in crowded street , Young- crowds begin as a—hush , be discreet ! Else will you make my brain to—hush again ! And with your blame all earth shall—to be plain , in irom

      . Kesouna sparits as struck—silence pray ! This muse of mine inclines to run away , Or answer for herself the words I ' ve found Yet hidden in a favoured spot of ground Out then upon this beating of the bush , Unpick this truth—that Mutton's mutton—hush- !
