I like thy Landlord's Tales!—I like that Idol

Of love and Lammermoor—the blue-eyed maid

That led to church the mounted cavalcade,

And then pull'd up with such a bloody bridal!

Throwing equestrian Hymen on his haunches—

I like the family—not silver, branches

That hold the tapers

To light the serious legend of Montrose.

I like M'Aulay's second-sighted vapours,
