"There's many a one who oft has heard
The name of Robert Kyd,
Who cannot tell, perhaps, a word
Of him, or what he did.
"So, though I never saw the man,
And lived not in his day,
I'll tell you how his guilt began—
To what it led the way."
H. F. Gould.

The ashes of a thousand dreams—
Some wrought of wild Ambition's fingers,
Some colour'd of Love's pencil well—
Ambition has but foil'd my grasp,
And Love has perish'd in my clasp."
Melanie.
