Versicles -- Lord Byron (1817)

I read the Christabel;
Very well:

I read the Missionary;
Pretty – very;

I tried at Ilderim;
Ahem!

I read a sheet of Marg’ret of Anjou;
Can you?;

 
I turned a page of Webster’s Waterloo;
Pooh! Pooh!

I looked at Wordsworth’s milk-white Rylstone Doe;
Hillo!

I read Glenarvon, too, by Caro. Lamb;
God damn!
