No! My proud spirit shall not suffer wrong;

'Booms' are my theme—let satire be my song.

"Through Nature's new-found gift, Magnetic skill,

My soul obeys an influential Will,

And I from Hades rise to life again

To wield once more mine own especial pen,

Which none have rivalled in these sickly days

Of tawdry epics and translated plays,

When knavish cliques o'er honest Art prevail,

And weigh out judgment by the 'Savile' scale.
