Forth tripped another claimant of the bay.

Trim, tittivated, tintinnabulant,

His bosom aped the true Parnassian pant,

As may a housemaid's leathern bellows mock

The rock—whelmed Titan's breathings. He no shock

Of bard-like shagginess shook to the breeze.

A modern Cambrian Minstrel hopes to please

By undishevelled dandy-daintiness,

Whether of lays or locks, of rhymes or dress.

Some bards pipe from Parnassus, some from Hermon;
