this gentleInan's expense. told his
friends at a dinner party before the
said publishers arrival that he had
himself written some verses in imita-
ton of Southey. and that, he intended
to puzzle old F. with the question Of
their authorship.
Accordingiy. later in the evening the

two periods in Southey's life when he
could have written them"
"When were those?' asked the joker.
with a wink at his friends.
EITHER in his infancy or his dotager
was the quiet reply.
