But fame, love, <br>Is all that these eyes can adore; <br>He's lame, -- but Lord Byron was lame, love, <br>And dumpy, -- but so is Tom Moore. <br>Then his voice, -- such a voice! my sweet creature, <br>It's like your Aunt Lucy's toucan: <br>But oh! what's a tone or a feature, <br>When once one's a talented man? </div><div style="margin:10px 0">My mother, you know, all the season, <br>Has talked of Sir Geoffrey's estate; <br>And truly, to do the fool reason, <br>He has been less horrid of late. <br>But today, when we drive in the carriage, <br>I'll tell her to lay down her plan; -- <br>If ever I venture on marriage, <br>It must be a talented man! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">P.S. -- I have found, on reflection, <br>One fault in my friend, -- entre nous; <br>Without it, he'd just be perfection; -- <br>Poor fellow, he has not a sou! <br>And so, when he comes in September <br>To shoot with my uncle, Sir Dan, <br>I've promised mamma to remember <br>He's only a talented man!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Winthrop+Mackworth+Praed">Winthrop Mackworth Praed</a><div class=q>
