His modest tome, kind writ, From time to time, and bit by bit; Some Lays appearing here and there, Where Editors could comers spare; While others, bound into a book, Were published in Bombay - and took. At least, 'yours truly' thinks he 'may That much, of swagger guiltless, say; For of his first attempt, no less Than three editions passed the press, And of the second, he is told, There's not a single vol. Unsold. Since they were issued, several others Appeared in journals, like their brothers, And now the whole, all of a heap, Are offered to you - very cheap. Dear Pub., 'yours truly' hopes you'll laugh At what is merely meant for chaff; And, being chaff, is not so vain As to attempt to pass for grain.
