Mild, mooney, melancholy vapoury.

A sort of Chaucer minus Horace.

Spun out like those of William Loris,

Who wrote of amourous red-tapery,

Behold the works of W. Morris,

Epics, and here and there wall-papery!

Long ladies, knights, and earles and choris-

ters in the most appropriate drapery,

Samite and silk and spotless napery,

Sunflowers and apple-blossoms and orris,
