SOMERSET NOTIONS OF A POET.—Mr. Wordsworth had -
taken the Allfoxden House; near Stowey, for one year
(during the minority of the heir) ; and the reason why he
was refused a continuance by the ignorant man who had
the letting of it, arose, as Mr. Coleridge informed me,
from a whimsical cause, or rather a series of cadges. The
wiseacres of the village had, it seemed, made Mr. W. the
subject of their serious conversation, One said that "He
had seen him wander about by night, and look rather
strangely at the moon ! and then he roamed over the hills
like a partridge." Another said, "He had heard him
mutter, as he walked, in some outlandish. brogue, that no-
body could undertaud !" Another said, " It's useless to
talk, Thomas, I think he is what people calla' wise man' "
(a conjuror). Another said, " You are every one of you
wrong. I know what he is. We have all seen him
tramping away toward the sea. Would any man in his
senses take all that trouble to look at a parcel of water ? I
think he carries on a snug business in the smuggling line,
and, in these journeys, is on the look out for some wet -
cargo !" Another very significantly said, " I know that
one Word. about po-
he has got a private still in his cellar, for I once passed
his house, at a little better than a hundred yards' distance,
and I could smell the spirits, as plain as an ashen faggott
at Christmas !" Another said, " However that was, he is
