...more conventional plea, "In Defence of Verse Form," though less bizarre, shows in its frequent graceful lines more promise of actual power. Timotheus' lyre and Pope's lines on Atticus do consort incongruously enough with Hudibras and Keat's urn and the other members of this cento; yet, though the poet's head as well as heart be "poor-rhyming," he vallantly says what he thinks.
