Excerpt from Plays and Poems

The work of a young man of one-and-twenty - indeed, Harriet Kenyon was written when I was barely twenty - I cannot hope that these Plays and Poems will greatly please or widely interest. However, I believe, the catholic reader will find the volume of such merit as will repay perusal.

No doubt the critical will censure me, and rightly, for the lax metre of certain parts of the Plays, yet I purposely (though I now believe, unwisely) wrote the Plays as they are published, and must be censured rather for perverted judgment than for any great lack of metrical skill. While either is to be condemned, the former may be corrected, but the latter, hardly.

The poem to the Flag is fashioned after Shelley's Skylark.
