Not illustrated. 1838 Excerpt: ...And a spare priest; a fat-fed Capuchin And a poor poet, or a thorn-fed jackass! In fact, he is, for a convenient rhyme, The very greatest hero of his time. III. Mark that I say not heroine! By no means: I would have sung of woman, for that matter, Because I have a great desire for women's Favor: and then I had a scaling ladder, Ropes, and a carriage ready; priest at home; inns, On the road, hired; masks, and a maid that had her Window unscrewed, and who, at least in hope, meant To gem my song, with a refin'd elopement!
