And shrieks, in columns of hysteric praise,

How such a work all nations should amaze:

'Nothing has ever been or e'er will be

Like Dreams'—produced by the blasphemous She;

So writes the Athenæum to the few

Who still pay threepence for a bad review,

And watch the hatching of the little plots

Conceived and carried out by Mr. Watts.

Charles Dilke! Come forth from Mrs. Grundy's ban,

And show thyself to be the 'leading' man,
