But just suppose Consumption's seeds appear A frigid, not a genial inspiration; An inflammation. Smitten by breezes from the land of plague, O! where's the SPRING in a rheumatic leg, And quake with Ague, that great Agitator, My Respirator. What wonder if in May itself I lack Spring, mild and gentle!--yes, a Spring-heeled Jack In fulsome odes too many to be cited, And that is blighted! ODE. ON A DISTANT PROSPECT OF CLAPHAM ACADEMY. That classic house, those classic grounds, What tender urchins now confine, Within yon irksome walls! Ay, that's the very house! I know Its chimneys in the rear! That drew the thunder from the sky There like a little Adam fed The weary tasks I used to con!-- Most fruitful leaves to me! The summoned class!--the awful bow!-- And wholesome anguish sheds! How many maids to see the boys (Like Pallas in the palor) yet The little Crichtons of the hour, And swill her prize--bohea? Ay, there's the playground! there's the lime, So wildly I have read!-- Of young Romance, and weaves a dream Who models tiny heads in chalk? What early genius buds apace? Hal Baylis? blithe Carew? Alack! they're gone--a thousand ways! .
