CHARLES LAMPS LITTLE jokes.

PilferinH of Milton.

A pretentious poet got his verses sub
mitted to Charles Lamb by friend Just
before the poet was to meet Lamb at DIM

echoes of other poets, and when the au-
thor arrived he was seen to be as empty
as his verses. This awakened Lambs
spirit of mischievous waggery. At dinner
he said. in the course Of conversations
THAT reminds me Of some verses wrote
when was young" and then he quoted
line or two which he recollected from
the poets book, to the iatter's amazement
and indignation. Lamb was diverted Inn
mensely, but kept perfectly serious and
quoted more lines in connection with an
other remark, begging the company to re-
member how young he was when he CONS
posed them. The author again looked daEs
gers at him.
Lamb capped all by introducing the flrst
lines of Paradise LOST COT mans first

bursting with rage He said he had sat by
and allowed his own little verses to be
appropriated without protest, but when he
saw Milton also being pilfered from he
could sit silent no longer. Lamb reveiea
in telling this story.
