THE END OF WRITING.
An imitation of some French verses.  Addressed to authors.
  These fair sheets of foolscap which thus ye are soiling, 
  Still cutting and scribbling, and blotting, and spoiling, 
  This paper, I say, had an honest beginning, 
  Being born of good flax, and begotten by spinning, 
  To the loom in good time, and the rag shop it past, 
  Into leaves of fine foolscap converted at last.
