Grandpapa Loquitur	A
	-
	-
You don't know Froissart now young folks	B
This age I think prefers recitals	C
Of high spiced crime with slang for jokes	B
And startling titles	C
	-
But in my time when still some few	D
Loved old Montaigne and praised Pope's Homer	A
Nay thought to style him poet too	D
Were scarce misnomer	A
	-
Sir John was less ignored Indeed	E
I can re call how Some one present	F
Who spoils her grandson Frank would read	G
And find him pleasant	F
	-
For by this copy hangs a Tale	H
Long since in an old house in Surrey	A
Where men knew more of morning ale	H
Than Lindley Murray	A
	-
In a dim lighted whip hung hall	I
'Neath Hogarth's Midnight Conversation	J
It stood and oft 'twixt spring and fall	I
With fond elation	J
	-
I turned the brown old leaves For there	A
All through one hopeful happy summer	A
At such a page I well knew where	A
Some secret comer	A
	-
Whom I can picture 'Trix like you	D
Though scarcely such a colt unbroken	J
Would sometimes place for private view	D
A certain token	J
	-
A rose leaf meaning Garden Wall	I
An ivy leaf for Orchard corner	A
A thorn to say Don't come at all	I
Unwelcome warner	A
	-
Not that in truth our friends gainsaid	F
But then Romance required dissembling	K
Ann Radcliffe taught us that which bred	F
Some genuine trembling	K
	-
Though as a rule all used to end	F
In such kind confidential parley	A
As may to you kind Fortune send	F
You long legged Charlie	A
	-
When your time comes How years slip on	L
We had our crosses like our betters	M
Fate sometimes looked askance upon	L
Those floral letters	M
	-
And once for three long days disdained	F
The dust upon the folio settled	F
For some one in the right was pained	F
And some one nettled	F
	-
That sure was in the wrong but spake	N
Of fixed intent and purpose stony	A
To serve King George enlist and make	N
Minced meat of Boney	A
	-
Who yet survived ten years at least	F
And so when she I mean came hither	A
One day that need for letters ceased	F
She brought this with her	A
	-
Here is the leaf stained Chapter How	O
The English King laid Siege to Calais	P
I think Gran knows it even now	O
Go ask her Alice	Q
