TO A POETICAL CORRESPONDENT.
Rose hints she is n't one of thoseWho have the gift of writing prose;
But poetry is une autre chose,
And quite an easy thing to Rose!
As if an artist should decline,
For lack of skill, to paint a sign!
But, try him in the landscape line,
You'll find his genius quite divine!
