Versicles

I read the “Christabel;”
             Very well:
I read the “Missionary;”
             Pretty—very:
I tried at “Ilderim;”
             Ahem!
I read a sheet of “Marg’ret of Anjou;
             Can you?
I turned a page of Webster’s “Waterloo;”
             Pooh! pooh!
I looked at Wordsworth’s milk-white “Rylstone Doe;”
             Hillo!
I read “Glenarvon,” too, by Caro Lamb;
             God damn!
