Living
On the Literary Gazette
From The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb, IV: Poems and Plays, ed. E. V. Lucas
Living
In merry England I computed once
The number of the dunces--dunce for dunce;
There were four hundred, if I don't forget,
All readers of the L------y G-----e;
But if the author to himself keep true,
In some short months they'll be reduced to two.
