Hast thou the poet-gift? Thou hast,
O golden-tongued and hearted Greek!
To find thy prototype, I seek
Far down along the shadowy Past,
Where half-gods and whole poets speak:
Wit, song, and eloquence divine—
Where are they in the list of names?
I halt at his of many fames,
And boldly call thee, brother mine,
A Sheridan—without his shames!
