Answer (to Stanzas by Miss Catharine Fanshawe)
From Poems
Relationships
To be remember'd thus is fame,
And in the first degree;
And did the few like her the same,
The press might sleep for me.
So Homer in the memory stored
Of many a Grecian belle,
Was once preserved--a richer hoard,
But never lodged so well.
