A QUESTION.
Too Practical to be thought of.
Patriotism.
In Snow.
[With pseudo-monarchy and creed]
Words and Deeds.
[England! leave Asia, Africa, alone]
[To do such dreadful work, not merely coin]
[Heroic Chili! Brave Peru!]
[Have Nations human consciences? If so]
To a Primrose.
[The English Nation is my vexation]
[A poet sits at ease]
Mother Shipton.

Blackberries
[Heroic Chili! Brave Peru!]
Heroic
Chili! Brave Peru!
The glorious deeds of arms ye do
By some new Homer should be sung.
What quarrel doth this rage inspire?
They settle thus by blood and fire
Which shall sell most of seagull's dung.
1880.
