SHREDS AND PATCHES.
I've didactic poems, odes
On the "annotated codes,"
Lines upon the church and verses monasteric;
I have sonnets and quatrains,
And prologues—yes; and brains!
Tho' you seem inclined to doubt it, Mrs. Herrick.

I have elegies, nocturnes
Where the lover sighs, and yearns,
Songs ancient; yes, and measures neoteric.
Here are fifteen villanelles,
And a score of light rondels,
With a sapphic, at a bargain, Mrs. Herrick.
