His elephantine style is still the same,
Forever turgid, and forever tame.
Boom for the 'Scapegoat'! it has been re-writ
To suit the measure of the critics' wit;
'Bondsman' and 'Deemster' tweak each other's toes,
And as a spurious 'genius' Caine doth pose,
Taking himself and all his books on trust,
And getting photographed with Shakespeare's bust!
"Another book of verses? Who again
Inflicts rhymed doggerel on the sons of men?
