Let Watts 'puff' Swinburne, Swinburne bow to Watts,
And Shakespeare be disproved by Mrs. Potts;
Let all the brawling folly of the time
Find vent in vapid prose and vulgar rhyme;
Let scribblers rush into the common mart
With all their mutilated blocks of art,
And take their share of this ephemeral day
With Collins and her 'Ta-ra-Boom-de-ay';
And what their end shall be, let others tell;
My time is up and I must say farewell,
