A Volume of Nonsense

Lord Byron·1788–1824
Lines:13Movement:Romanticism
DEAR MURRAY,-- You ask for a "_Volume of Nonsense_," Have all of your authors exhausted their store?I thought you had published a good deal not long since. And doubtless the Squadron are ready with more.But on looking again, I perceive that the SpeciesOf "Nonsense" you want must be purely "_facetious_;"And, as that is the case, you had best put to press Mr. Sotheby's tragedies now in M.S., Some Syrian Sally From common-place Gally,Or, if you prefer the bookmaking of women,Take a spick and span "Sketch" of your feminine _He-Man_.
