just before the poet was to meet Lamb
at dinner, Lamb found the verses to
be feeble echoes VI other poets, and
when the author arrived lie was seen
to be as empty as his verses. This
awakened Lambs spirit OF mischie'

course OF conversation:

quoted q line or two which he recol-

was diverted Immensely, but kept per

young he was when he composed them.
The author again looked daggers at
him.
Lamb capped all by introducing the
first lines Of Paradise Lost" C"Of

written by himself. which brought the
poet to his feet. bursting with rage. He
said he had sat by and allowed his own
