L.

I have not heard she was at all poetic,

Though once she was seen reading the Bath Guide,And Hayley's Triumphs, which she deemed pathetic,

Because she said her temper had been tried

So much, the bard had really been prophetic

Of what she had gone through with—since a bride.

But of all verse, what most ensured her praise

Were sonnets to herself, or bouts rimés.
