1. Thy Verse Is "Sad" Enough, No Doubt: A Devilish Deal More Sad Than Witty! Why We Should Weep I Can't Find Out, Unless For Thee We Weep In Pity. 2. Yet There Is One I Pity More; And Much, Alas! I Think He Needs It: For He, I'm Sure, Will Suffer Sore, Who, To His Own Misfortune, Reads It. 3. Thy Rhymes, Without The Aid Of Magic, May Once Be Read - But Never After: Yet Their Effect'S By No Means Tragic, Although By Far Too Dull For Laughter. 4. But Would You Make Our Bosoms Bleed, And Of No Common Pang Complain - If You Would Make Us Weep Indeed, Tell Us, You'll Read Them O'Er Again.
