On the Most Veracious Anecdotist, and Small-Talk Man, Thomas Hill, Esq
From Complete Poetical Works, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1912)
Social Commentaries
Tom Hill, who laughs at Cares and Woes,
As nauci--nili--pili--
What is he like, as I suppose?
Why, to be sure, a Rose--a Rose.
At least, no soul that Tom Hill knows
Could e'er recall a Li-ly.
