As Biglow sang, our quaint Hosea,
Whose "Sunthin in the Pastoral line,"
Full primed with picture and idea,
Lives, with "The Courtin'," unforgot,
And worth whole volumes of sham-Shen-stone.
Yes, you could catch, as prigs may not,
Pure women's speech and valiant men's tone.
Zekle and Huldy in our hearts
Have found a place. But a true Poet,
Like SHAKSPEARE's Man, plays many parts.
