Let School-Miss Alfred vent her chaste delight | On "darling little rooms so warm and bright!" Lytton's note observes of a passage of Tennyson, "The whole of this Poem (!!!) is worth reading, in order to see to what depth of silliness the human intellect can descend" Tho' praised by Critics, tho' adored by Blues, Tho' Peel with pudding plump the puling Muse Tho' Theban taste the Saxon's purse controuls, And pensions Tennyson while starves a Knowles, Rather be thou, my poor Pierian Maid, Decent at least, in Hayley's weeds array'd, Than patch wtih frippery every tinsel line, And flaunt, admired, the Rag Fair of the Nine!" Suppressed in all editions after the third edition, March 1846. Sadlier 423 (for parts issue and first ed. only); Wolff 947 (first ed.), 947a (fourth ed.).
