Lines to a Blottins Pad.

w. n. Ellwanger in the Bookman.
Thou kindly porous plaster for the Ills
Occasioned by the ink poet spills,
Absorb unto thyself his many faults,
And sponge his verse where rhyme or
rhythm halts!
Yet, lest perchance thy too retentive touch
Appropriate. in passing. overmuch,
Pray leave a trace Of what he would imply
Were thought but free and ink allowed to
dry!
In former times they sprinkled out the sand
To sweep it off, and let the writing stand;
While nowadays line is hardly writ
Ere we regret and seek to alter it,
Ard spend in emendation so much pains
That scarce an inkling of the truth re-
mains.
So. for the nonce. let my poor pen run free
And leave recorded, whatsoer be!
Grant it expression for a final line,
And all that went before Is gladly thine!
Then will this postscript yet suffice to show;
"Tll love sweet Alice long as ink shall
floW.'
