AFTER SIR L M	A
	-
Next I saw	B
A pensive gentleman of middle age	C
That leaned against a Druid oak his pipe	D
Pendent beneath his chin a double one	E
Meaning the pipe reluctant was his breath	F
For he had mingled in the Morris dance	G
And rested blown but damsels in their teens	H
All decorous and decorously clad	I
Their very ankles hardly visible	J
Recalled his motions while for chaperon	E
Good Mrs Grundy up against the wall	K
Beamed approbation	E
	-
On his face I read	L
Signs of high sadness such as poets wear	M
Being divinely discontented with	N
The praise of jeunes filles Even as I looked	O
He touched the portion of his pipe reserved	P
For minor poetry of solemn tone	E
Checking the humorous stops intended for	Q
Electioneering posters and the like	R
And therewithal he made the following	S
Addition to his Songs Unsung or else	T
His Unremarked Remarks	U
	-
Dear Sir he said	L
Excuse my saying 'Sir' like that it is	V
Our way in Hades here among the damned	W
For you must know that some of us are damned	W
Not only by faint praise but full applause	X
Of simple critics Take my case In me	Y
Behold the good knight Marsyas M A	Z
Three times a candidate for Parliament	A2
And twice retired a Justice of the Peace	B2
Master of Arts I said and better known	E
In literary spheres as Master of	C2
The Mediocre Obvious and read	L
By boarding misses in their myriads	B2
These dote upon me Sweetly have I sung	D2
The commonplaces of philosophy	Y
In common parlance	B2
	-
You have read perhaps	B2
The Cymric Triads Poetry they say	B2
Excels alone by sheer simplicity	Y
Of language subject and invention Sir	E2
The excellence of mine lay that way too	F2
But fate is partial Heaven's fulgour moulds	B2
'To happiness some some to unhappiness '	-
Look you the harp was Welsh that figured forth	G2
That excellent last line I ask you Sir	E2
What would you Ill content with mortal praise	B2
And haply somewhat overbold I sought	H2
To be as gods be sought in fact to filch	I2
Apollo's bays	B2
	-
Ah me Dear me I fain	E
Would use a stronger phrase but hardly dare	M
Being whatever else respectable	J
I say I tired of vulgar homage gift	J2
Of ignorance 'High failure overleaps	B2
The bounds of low successes' there again	E
The harp that twanged was Welsh but with an echo	K2
Of Browning Godlike it must be I thought	H2
To climb the giddy brink to pen for instance	B2
An Ode to the Imperial Institute	L2
And fall if bound to from a decent height	M2
	-
I did and missed the laurel still I go	K2
On writing what you hear just now is blank	N2
Distinctly blank and might be measured by	O2
The kilom tre yet I rhyme as well	P2
A little but it takes a lot of time	Q2
And checks the lapse of my pellucid stream	R2
Not all conveniently	Y
	-
Thereat he paused	S2
And wrung the moisture from his pipe but I	O2
As one that was intolerably bored	T2
Took even this occasion to be gone	E
And going marked him how he took his stile	U2
Polished the waxen tablets and began	E
To make a Royal P an by request	V2
Or so he said	L
