Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Muses of Mayfair: Selections From Vers De Societe of the Nineteenth Century To Frederick Locker. Dear Locker! Whom I knew unknown, but now Known wheresoe'er rhyme runs or critics carp, - None strikes a clearer, more melodious harp Than thou. Thine is the spell that charms alike the sage, Craving repose for wearied brain and eye, And the fair child lingering her play-hour by Thy page. No vulgar lures, no tinsel arts are thine To gild the common coarseness of the herd - Still be thyself, unblamed in thought or word, And shine. And for the lustre of thy name I hold Twice dear, old friend, this gleaned and garnered sheaf, Which thence shall gain one doubly-treasured leaf Of gold. H. C. P.
