A LETTER FROM M.M. VERSIFIED OUT OF POOR PROSE INTO CATCHPENNY VERSE!
Dear Sir! would you be popular,Then never mention Greek!
Be arrogant and insular,
Dear Sir, would you be popular:
Cut classics; and for guiding star,
Read Birrell once a week.
Dear Sir! would you be popular,
Then never mention Greek.
Lionel Johnson.
