MEDDLING MEG.
How easy, dear Meg, for you to give A sermon to your friend, And, with sharp and burning eloquence, Your neighbours' faults condemn. How dear and deep your logic is, Your arguments how strong ; And your conclusions — oh 1 what force And power to them belong. Meanwhile you do not touch upon Your own peculiar cranks, You would rather teach your neighbours, And condemn their freaks aud pranks. Your peccadilloes— oh ! but they Are very, very few, Correcting them is not the task You have set yourself to do. Oaversham. — M. A.
