Some of his descriptions seem extravagant--"amber arms," for instance--but on the whole his language and his metre are sound, and one feels that he has more of "the makings" than some of his more ambitious fellow-bards. Mr. Realers announces, perhaps prematurely, that his heart grows cold; his effort rouses a suspicion that he might glow more warmly in some more suitable medium than he has chosen here...
