　　WRITTEN UPON THE COVER OF A BLOTTING BOOK

　　Blank tho' I be, within you'll find

　　Relics of th' enraptured mind:

　　Where truth and fable, mirth and wit,

　　Are safely here deposited.

　　The placid, furious, envious, wise,

　　Impart to me their secresies;

　　Here hidden thoughts in blotted line

　　Nor sybil can the sense divine;

　　Lethe and I twin sisters be—

　　Then, stranger, open me and see.

　　POLITICAL AND OTHER EPIGRAMS

　　TO SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH

　　(1801)

　　Though thou'rt like Judas, an 'tate black,

　　In the resemblance one thing thou dost lack:

　　When he had gotten his ill-purchased pelf,

　　He went away, and wisely hanged himself.

　　This thou may'st do at last; yet much I doubt,

　　If thou hast any bowels to gush out!

　　TWELFTH NIGHT

　　Characters That Might Have Been Drawn on the Above Evening

　　(1802)

　　MR. A[DDINGTON]

　　I put my night-cap on my head,

　　And went, as usual, to my bed;

　　And, most surprising to relate,

　　I woke—a Minister of State!

　　MESSRS. C[ANNIN]G AND F[RER]E

　　At Eton School brought up with dull boys,

　　We shone like men among the school-boys;

　　But since we in the world have been,

　　We are but school-boys among men.

　　COUNT RUMFORD

　　I deal in aliments fictitious

　　And teaze the poor with soups nutritious.

　　Of bones and flesh I make dilution

　　And belong to the National Institution. The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb — Volume 4
