Opis: The Muses of Mayfair - Pennell H. Cholmondeley

Excerpt from The Muses of Mayfair: Selections From Vers De Socit of the Nineteenth Century

To Frederick Locker.

Dear Locker! Whom I knew unknown, but now
Known wheresoe'er rhyme runs or critics carp, -
None strikes a clearer, more melodious harp
Than thou.

Thine is the spell that charms alike the sage,
Craving repose for wearied brain and eye,
And the fair child lingering her play-hour by
Thy page.

No vulgar lures, no tinsel arts are thine
To gild the common coarseness of the herd -
Still be thyself, unblamed in thought or word,
And shine.

And for the lustre of thy name I hold
Twice dear, old friend, this gleaned and garnered sheaf,
Which thence shall gain one doubly-treasured leaf
Of gold. H. C. P.
