Footnotes
[C] To demonstrate quickly and easily how per-
-versely absurd 'tis to sound this name Cowper,
As people in general call him named super,
I just add that he rhymes it himself with horse-trooper.
[D] (If you call Snooks an owl, he will show by his looks
That he's morally certain you're jealous of Snooks.)
[E] (Cuts rightly called wooden, as all must admit.)
[F] That is in most cases we do, but not all,
Past a doubt, there are men who are innately small,
Such as Blank, who, without being 'minished a tittle,
Might stand for a type of the Absolute Little.
[G] (And at this just conclusion will surely arrive,
That the goodness of earth is more dead than alive.)
[H] Not forgetting their tea and their toast, though, the while.
[I] Turn back now to page—goodness only knows what,
And take a fresh hold on the thread of my plot.
