On the Disappointment of the Whig Associates Op the Prince Regent, at Not Obtaining Office. Charles Lamb
Ye politicians, tell me, pray,
Why thus with woe and care rent?
This is the worst that you can say,
Some wind has blown the wig away,
And left the HAIR APPARENT.
TO PROFESSOR AIREY,
On his marrying a beautiful woman.
SIDNEY SMITH
Airey alone has gained that double prize,
Which forced musicians to divide the crown;
His works have raised a mortal to the skies,
His marriage-vows have drawn a mortal down.
