Finale: Chorus of Poetasters.
Not return nor e'en acknowledge!
Dares he treat our verses thus?
Knows he not the might malignant
Of a poetaster's "cuss?"
Dreads he not our "spiteful letters,"
Epigrams, satiric skits?
Let him learn that would-be poets
Also shine as would-be wits.
Who is he to scorn our verses?
