Allingham, William (1824-1889)

[A base and selfish discontent]

[Give us all under, and above, the Moon]

[How different is the life within our breast]

[O heroes, ye comfort my brotherly heart!]

[When the vile and the noble he juggles to mix]

[I do not show]

[That base curmudgeon who in Nelson's stead]

[Berries, and also seeds]

[Good Reader, were I but in Greek]

[One or two at a time]

But it isn't what you, friend, may choose to think wrong.
