　　IN THE ALBUM OF A FRENCH TEACHER (? 1829)

　　Implored for verse, I send you what I can;

　　But you are so exact a Frenchwoman,

　　As I am told, Jemima, that I fear

　　To wound with English your Parisian ear,

　　And think I do your choice collection wrong

　　With lines not written in the Frenchman's tongue.

　　Had I a knowledge equal to my will,

　　With airy Chansons I your leaves would fill;

　　With Fabliaux, that should emulate the vein

　　Of sprightly Cresset, or of La Fontaine;

　　Or Scenes Comiques, that should approach the air

　　Of your own favourite—renowned Moliere.

　　But at my suit the Muse of France looks sour,

　　And strikes me dumb! Yet, what is in my power

　　To testify respect for you, I pray,

　　Take in plain English—our rough Enfield way. The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 4
