EPIGRAM ON THE BRAZIERS' COMPANY HAVING RESOLVED, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The braziers, it seems, are preparing to pass

THE braziers, it seems, are preparing to pass
An address, and present it themselves all in brass --
A superfluous pageant -- for, by the Lord Harry,
They'll find where they're going much more than they carry.

There's an Ode for you, is it not? -- worthy
Of Wordsworth, the grand metaquizzical poet,
A man of vast merit, though few people know it;
The perusal of whom (as I told you at Mestri)
I owe, in great part, to my passion for pastry.
