My first is no proof of my secondB
Though my second's a proof of my firstC
If I were my whole I should tell youD
Quite freely my best and my worstC
-
One clue more if you fail to discoverE
My meaning you're blind as a moleF
But if you will frankly confess itG
You show yourself clearly my wholeF

-
My first may be the firstbornH
The second child may beI
My second is a texture lightJ
And elegant to seeI
My whole do those too often writeJ
Who are from talent freeI
-
-
-
How many authors are my firstC
And I shall be so tooD
Unless I finish speedilyI
That which I have to doD
-
My second is a lofty treeI
And a delicious fruitK
This in the hot house flourishesL
That amid rocks takes rootK
-
My whole is an immortal queenM
Renowned in classic loreN
Her a god won without her willO
And her a goddess boreN
-
-
-
Me you often meetP
In London's crowded streetP
And merry children's voices my resting place proclaimQ
Pictures and prose and verseR
Compose me I rehearseR
Evil and good and folly and call each by its nameQ
I make men glad and IS
Can bid their senses flyS
And festive echoes know me of Isis and of CamT
But give me to a friendU
And amity will endU
Though he may have the temper and meekness of a lambT
