Chapter 52 No.52

To Christopher North

You did late review my lays,

Crusty Christopher;

You did mingle blame and praise,

Rusty Christopher.

When I learnt from whom it came,

I forgave you all the blame,

Musty Christopher;

I could not forgive the praise,

Fusty Christopher.

[This epigram was Tennyson's reply to an article by Professor Wils
