Social Commentaries
To One who Published in Print What Had Been Entrusted to Him by My Fireside
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
Social Commentaries
Two things hast thou made known to half the nation,
My secrets and my want of penetration:
For O! far more than all which thou hast penn'd
It shames me to have call'd a wretch, like thee, my friend!
