Excerpt from The Ballad of Hattonchatel
Clio, thou most adorable, make me veracious; Calliope, bestow an epic strain, I pray; Polymnia, grant rhythm to my lines, and gracious Melpomene, spread piously a pal] Upon the tragedy that havoc made Of the fair town Whose fete I Will relate. Erato, no, dear, run away, I shall not need you, come another day. My theme demands your sober sisters' aid.
