Francis Lord Jeffrey,
Thou man of great fame,
Reviewer most peppery,
Shadow of a name!

What good can it do thee
That dolts should exclaim,
In their pilgriming to thee,
" O man of great fame! "

All fame is a shadow,
Great or small much the same,
What use of it have you or had you
O man of great fame?

The bright Blue and Yellow
Rather dim it became;
A small cheery fellow
Once man of great fame.
