Some other source of pleasure, all the guests

With one consent proceeded to demand

The promised boon—for boon in truth ’twas deemed,

And held on promise too, since last they met

To celebrate this season. In the course

Of varied conversation on the art

Of poesy, the skill required to make

Words run in music, subjects fit to frame

A song of beauty, desultory talk

On power of language, criticism just,
