In rings and seals your “Goldsmith” ’s fair,

You must confess, as could be;

And yet that “Livy” is, you swear,

No better than she should be!

“Moore” would I say to you! Ah me!

O’er “Little” you grow cold;

You say that “Lamb” should quartered be,

And “Young” you say is old.

Your “Johnson” you a “Walker” make,

So merciless your ravage;
