A fellow-grumbler for unpurchased rhyme,
But starting up with never-ending chime,
Narcotic J---,

And France's Fiend,—Neglect has smothered all!
O'er Ahab, too, the “wave” oblivious passed,—
“Amen,” cried Sense—let Ahab be the last!
But starting up with never-ending chime,

And France's Fiend,—Neglect has smothered all!
O'er Ahab, too, the “wave” oblivious passed,—
“Amen,” cried Sense—let Ahab be the last!
J--- is one of those injured bards whose stupidity and versified trash have failed to procure patronage; but in these days of eternal sing-song, does Mr. J--- think that dull equable sentiment in rhyme, or mere ungrammatical mediocrity, will sell! Since the “waves of neglect” have thrice passed over him, it is to be hoped he will be prudent enough not to go out of his depth again!
