ON A MAGAZINE SONNET by RUSSELL HILLARD LOINES

First Line: SCORN NOT THE SONNET,' THOUGH ITS STRENGTH BE SAPPED
Last Line: HAD OTHERWISE BEEN COVERED WITH A HUNDRED.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS; SONNET (AS LITERARY FORM);

"SCORN not the sonnet," though its strength be sapped,
Nor say malignant its inventor blundered;
The corpse that here in fourteen lines is wrapped
Had otherwise been covered with a hundred.
