1890
DEDICATION
TO ———— ————, ESQUIRE.
“I'll link my waggon to a star;”
I'll dedicate this tale to you:
Wit, poet, scholar, that you are,
And skilful story-teller too,
And theologue, and critic true,
And main-stay of the———-Review.
I'll link my waggon to a star,
Does not the Yankee sage advise it?
And yet I dare not name your name,
Lest the wide lustre of its fame
Eclipse my humble candle-flame:
But you'll surmise it.
January 1890.
