A Glee
Sung at the opening dinner of the Garrick Club, November, 1831.
Let poets of superior parts
Consign to deathless fame,
The larceny of the Knave of Hearts,
Who spoiled his Royal Dame.
Consign to deathless fame,
The larceny of the Knave of Hearts,
Who spoiled his Royal Dame.
Alack! my timid muse would quail
Before such thievish cubs,
But plumes a joyous wing to hail
Thy birth, fair Queen of Clubs!
Before such thievish cubs,
But plumes a joyous wing to hail
Thy birth, fair Queen of Clubs!
