This mongrel of uncleanness and propriety.

What else were bad enough? but, let me say,

I too have my grandes manières in my way;

Could speak high sentiment as well as you,

And out-blank-verse you without much ado;

Have my religion also in my kind,

For dreaming unfit, because not designed.

What! you know not that I too can be serious,

Can speak big words, and use the tone imperious;

Can speak, not honiedly, of love and beauty,
