Excerpt from Patient Griselda: And Other Poems IF it be necessary in any case to write a Preface to a volume of Poems. It seems doubly necessary in mine. I have lived to over seventy without giving way to the vice of smoking, and why then can I not be contented to abstain to my very end from the vice of verse-making? My apology is on this wise: I naturally wish to vindicate my good name when I am gone, and to leave behind me some permanent proofs that I have sought and striven in my humble sphere to justify the good lessons which I learned first at my mother's knee and subsequently at the Charter House, and above all, Within the walls of Balliol College, Oxford, to which I owe any good that may be in me, and any success that I have achieved in life. It is in such of his writings as flow from his heart, and especially in his poetical effusions, that a man's character may be read; and I am not without a sort of secret hope that I may stand well with some at least of those who read between the lines of these verses.
