R. H. Barham, Life.
HE'S rising now, and taking off her bonnet,
And probably will end by sitting on it;
For oft, as sad experiences teach,
The novice, trembling from his maiden speech,
Drops flustered in his place, and crushes flat
His innocent and all-unconscious hat.
2nd Lady, in G. O. Trevelyan's Ladies in Parliament.
ON A LEFT-HANDED WRITING-MASTER.
HOUGH Nature thee of thy right hand bereft,
Right well thou writest with the hand that's left.
Francis Fuller, apud Nicholls.
