Living
My Wit Scanty
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
I have but little wit, all they
Whose brains are close and curdy say;
They relish best the broadfaced jokes
Of hearty, burly, country-folks,
And are quite certain those must judge ill
Who for the rapier drop the cudgell.
