What say you, critic, now you have become

An author and maternal?--in this trap

(To quote you) of poor hollow folk who rap

On instruments as like as drum to drum.

You snarled tut-tut for welcome to tum-tum,

So like the nose fly-teased in its noon's nap.

You scratched an insect-slaughtering thunder-clap

With that between the fingers and the thumb.

It seemeth mad to quit the Olympian couch,

Which bade our public gobble or reject.

O spectacle of Peter, shrewdly pecked,

Piper, by his own pepper from his pouch!

What of the sneer, the jeer, the voice austere,

You dealt?--the voice austere, the jeer, the sneer.
