c.mnbsII and His POEM.

At q dinner where Thomas Campbell
and Lord Nugent were present the con-
versation drifted from the use Of Latin
words In English to homeopathic
verse. SOME one expressed doubt
whether two consecutive lines compOs-
ed of words Of one syllable could be
found in our language. Lord Nugent
ut once quoted:
by that dread name We wave the sword
on high
And swear with her to live. with her to
die"
Campbell said he did not believe IN
the lines and asked where they came
from. Lord Nugent said. From your
own Pleasure of Hope" How dO
you know that?" asked the poet 81
know It all by heart" replied Nugent.
It'll bet you guinen you can't repeat
It," said Campbell. The bet was taken
and Nugent started declaiming. The
poet soon got tired and said: II see
you know the poem. Don't go any
further" The other insisted upon re-
peating the whole poem or claiming
double stakes, and Campbell paid the
extra guinea In order to be spared the
recital of the poem which had made
him famous which he had forgotten.
