In strains delightful and sublime,

He speaks in prose, and writes in rhyme;

“And when he writes in rhyme will make

The one verse for the other’s sake.

The one for sense, and one for rhyme,

He thinks sufficient at a time.”

Yet though his rhymes may be baptiz’d,

Nothing but prosing poetiz’d,

There’s still some difference between ’em,

Which all can tell who’ve ever seen ’em.
