32 So scattered the word-drunk rhymesters

32                       

So scattered the word-drunk rhyme-

sters (my mnemonic ilk), these pre-

cincts might forget, save that I’m

correspondent to their mortality.

 

Scrupulous of serendipities,

I memorize what moments please,

lest alien scriblers fail to note,

or grow careless, or misquote.
