And William Sharp, face-buried in his beard,

Thinks his own works should be as much rever'd

As Shelley's, if the world were only wise

And viewed him with his own admiring eyes;

And Little (Stanley) doth with Gosse combine

To judge the perish'd Poet line by line,

Granting his 'lyrics' admirably done,

(Though they could match him easily, each one,)

But, on the whole, he filled his 'mission' well;

'Agreed!' says Chairman Hurst, J.P., D.L.!
