I don’t know that there may be much ability

Shown in this sort of desultory rhyme;

But there’s a conversational facility,

Which may round off an hour upon a time.

Of this I’m sure at least, there’s no servility

In mine irregularity of chime,

Which rings what’s uppermost of new or hoary,

Just as I feel the Improvvisatore.
