Text Appearing After Image:
TO THE VISCOUNTESS WOLSELEY Madame, it is no modish thing,The bookmans tribute that I bring jA talk of antiquaries grey,Dust unto dust this many a day,Gossip of texts and bindings old,Of faded type, and tarnishd gold ! Can ladies care for this to-doWith Payne, Derome, and Padelotip tCati they resign the ront^ the ball,For lonely joys of shelf and stall! The critic thus, serenely wise;But you can read with other eyes,Whose books and bindings treasured areMidst mingled spoils of peace and war;Shields from the fights the Mahdi lost,And trinkets from the Golden Coast,And many a thing divinely doneBy Chippendale and Sheraton, VI And trophies of Egyptian deeds, And fans, and plates, and Aggrey beads, Pomander boxes, assegais. And sword-hilts worn in Marlbros days. In this abode of old and new,Of war and peace, my essays, too,For long in serials tempest-tost.Are landed now, and are not lost:Nay, on your shelf secure they lie,As in the amber sleeps the fly.Tis true, they are not rich nor rare
