THE LIVING LUSTRES.[126]

The following imitation of Tom Moore’s style is taken from The Rejected Addresses. It was written by Horace Smith. Early editions of The Rejected Addresses contained three verses which have recently been generally omitted. These are here supplied within parenthesis.

“Jam te juvaverit

Doctæque conjugis

Sinu quiescere.”

Sir T. More.
