Living
To John Forster (II)
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Censured by her who stands above
The Sapphic Muse in song and love,
" For minding what such people do
I turn in confidence to you.
Now, Forster, did you never stop
At orange-peel or turnip-top,
To kick them from your path, and then
Complacently walk on again?
