To him English rhyme was Irisii stew ; A stranger lie to Mount Parnassus, Which he mistook for bloody Manassas; 'Twas uo wonder, then, that he tore his hair, And savagely kicked both table and chair; The muses to him were disgustin-ly dumb, Aud poetry never a bit would comg. In vain he called upon the Nine— In vain heiried to turn a rhyme. His pent up feelings to express- Each effort just ended ia a mess. •■ He had fceard that metre was the thiug In which the Gods of old («.id sing, And that of late a clerical fluke Had measured the Holy Pe.itateuch Ayith a common rule, twelve inches loug, By which he cut up Moses' song. Bo mounting on a loity stool. The Devil took down a three-foot rule ; And tried with the help of the rule of three, To charm the genius of minstrelsy; But bo shared the fate of Bishop Colonzo, And failed to get up an Address ir tttcato. Then this Devil paused in deep despair, Aud viciously tugged once more at his hair— WfacB in came a spirit, who began to indite, And toWlour poor Devil what ho most write.
