Dreams, my dear Lord? Well, there are dreams and dreams,

Are those of BURNS much worse than those of WEMYSS?

Are WESTMINSTER's vain visions, though mature

The dreamer, less absurd or more obscure

Than those of some "young man" who dares to hope

That he with crowded London's ills can cope?

"Behold this dreamer cometh!" So of old

The sons of JACOB, envious, scornful, cold,

And fearful for their privilege of birth

And of possession, in derisive mirth,
