Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Etonian, Vol. 2: Henry Colburn and Co, Conduit-Street; And Knight and Dredge, Windsor The King of Clubs. Rowley. "I love a steak! - proudly it sweeps along; Whether the kitchen broileth it or frieth, And punsters tell that oftentimes it crieth, ´Chaucer, oh! Chaucer!´ - He was Lord of song In Britain! Wrapt in doublet and in rhyme, He walk´d the dear Metropolis, and tasted Of meats multigenous, bak´d, broil´d, and basted The pride of Taverns in that ancient time. I wish that I could rhyme like him of old, I wish that I could eat the food he eat; - But stop, Thalia, for you want a whet; The reader´s tir´d - the steaks are getting cold! Stop! for my own, and for the reader´s, sake; But oh! I´m very partial to a steak!" Bellamy. "Perhaps you think you´ve made a Sonnet I´m sorry for you! - out upon it! You havn´t got a rhyming phiz, And don´t know what a Sonnet is, You ought to talk of May or June, Mary, and Music, and the Moon, Just mention Zephyrs in the dell, And give a hint of Philomel, Enlarge upon a blighted tree, A rock, a ruin, or the sea, Conclude with something energetic, Or a neat touch of the pathetic. This is the way, mistaken elf! To write - like Gerard - or myself! Golightly. "Oh! Charles! - who said you were a dunce? I heard you read a sonnet once, And really I was so enchanted, With all you said, and all you chaunted, That home I hurried in delight, And sat me down in haste to write A little thing the Club shall see - Sonnet To Mr. Bellamy. "Oh! I am weary of thy minstrelsy; Thou claw´st the chords with such a clumsy gripe, And (straining still thy throat´s discordant pipe) Fumblest, and fumblest on so dismally; Evermore drawling a dull sleepy air, Like that the old Cow died of. Cruel Bard! What have I done, that thou would´st have me share That poor Cow´s fate? ´Twere not a task too hard About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
