Excerpt from The Casket: A Miscellany, Consisting of Unpublished Poems
Our Prologue thus, - the Muse's auctioneer Presents a bargain to each bidder here, Bold in hyperbole the pulpit mounts, And all the wonders of his wares recounts How in this page the Loves and Graces meet, And all Parnassus warbles on that sheet; How rills of verse, o'er meads of vellum wide Meandering, swell the typographic tide.
