‘Sans Padvertissement d’aultruy je veois assez le peu que tout ceci vault et poise.’
London
William Heinemann
1899
To Her
Whom the Happiest might count themselves
Still more Happy to have known
Jaspar Tristram’s parent after the Spirit
Makes bold to offer
This History of the Boy’s early Years
Not so much thinking it in anywise worthy
So honoured an Invocation
As in Hope to show
That the Dear Past at any rate
Can never be forgotten
