TO MRS. HERRICK.
101
Now I think a small ballade
Wouldn't go so very bad—
Thrown in to make my fame less ephemeric:
And perhaps this neat pantoum
Might find sufficient room
In "Bric-à-Brac" next August, Mrs. Herrick.

These epics are sublime;
But I ne'er have got a dime
From magazines that publish verse Homeric;
And I've often wondered why
I've received the same reply:
"Declined with thanks &c.", Mrs. Herrick.
