Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Reply to a Scurrilous Article on Mr. Wright's "Poetry Sacred and Profane" As Contained in the "Nottinghamshire Guardian" Of October 30, 1851
Aware, most likely, that the stanzas written by Wordsworth on the death of Lucy, which I have else where adduced, as affording but a questionable proof of tenderness, have been held by some journalists to constitute an exquisite little poem, he insists on their superiority to some verses of my own. I have never had the vanity to contend with the Laureate for the palm: without troubling myself, therefore, about the comparison, I shall proceed to show in what the mean ness of this piece consists.
She dwelt among the untrodden ways Beside the springs of Dove, A Maid whom there were none to praise And very few to love.
