A Grub Street Versifier...

           Alas, Writer, Alas

I have a small felicity with language;

Would I had a larger.

 

I'd put a tempest in a spoon,

Conjure up a smiling moon,

Celebrate the joys of June

With a merry piper's tune.

 

Felicity, alas,

Has married someone other,

And I'm left a heart of glass.

Alas, for my Felicity, alas.
