To Rondeau, Ballade, Villanelle;
From them we never flee pell mell,
Ne’er close their volumes with a bang;
O! naught our happiness can quell
With Austin Dobson—Andrew Lang.
Envoy.
How soothed our souls—what words can tell?
With Rondeau, Ballade, Villanelle,
How robbed of many a bitter pang
By Austin Dobson—Andrew Lang.
