      PERVERTED PROVERBS

      Perverted Proverbs

      Dedicated to

      Helen Whitney

      Do you recall those bygone days,

      When you received with kindly praise

      My bantling book of Rhyme?

      Praise undeserved, alas! and yet

      How sweet! For, tho' we had not met,

      (Ah! what a waste of time!)

      I could the more enjoy such mercies

      Since I delighted in your verses.

      And when a Poet stoops to smile

      On some one of the rank and file,

      (Inglorious—if not mute,)

      Some groundling bard who craves to climb,

      Like me, the dizzy rungs of Rhyme,

      To reach the Golden Fruit;

      For one in such a situation

      The faintest praise is no damnation.

      Parnassus heights must surely pall;

      For simpler diet do you call,

      Of nectar growing tired?

      These verses to your feet I bring,

      Drawn from an unassuming spring,

      Well-meant—if not inspired;

      O charming Poet's charming daughter,

      Descend and taste my toast and water!

      For you alone these lines I write,

      That, reading them, your brow may light

      Beneath its crown of bays;

      Your eyes may sparkle like a star,

      With friendship, that is dearer far

      Than any breath of praise;

      The which a lucky man possessing

      Can ask no higher human blessing.

      And, though the "salt
