Poems (Tennyson, 1833)/To Christopher North

by Alfred Tennyson

TO CHRISTOPHER NORTH.

---

You did late review my lays,
⁠Crusty Christopher;
You did mingle blame and praise,
⁠Rusty Christopher.
When I learnt from whom it came,
I forgave you all the blame,
⁠Musty Christopher;
I could not forgive the praise,
⁠Fusty Christopher.
