Excerpt from Poems

The Aspiring Poet Tyro.

Oh, how he would like to be truly a poet!
Then, having the talent, O would he not show it.
By scribbling out lines for the reader and printer,
On flowers in summer and sleigh-rides in winter?

He only professes to be a good rhymer:
He leaves the sublime and the high to the climber,
Whose mind soars upward in pace with his feeling,
As he turns his face skyward and gapes at the ceiling.

And he will write verses - though gaining no lucre,
While others swap horses, play chequers or euchre;
And if he improves in the rhyme or the measure,
He's pleased as old Skin Flint when counting his treasure.

His coat may be seedy; his neck without collars;
A tax on his head, and his purse without dollars;
He'll cut off the margin from some old newspapers,
And write by daylight when he cannot buy tapers.

But should he be aged, and then have no money,
To go to the poor-house would not be so funny: -
And, as he hopes never to spunge from his neighbor,
He always keeps busy at writing or labor.

What if he write nonsense? why, do not some others?
Such stuff! they deserve to be spanked by their mothers?
Yet people read foolishness with a great gusto,
And meet the demand for it somebody must, oh.
