Words skilled and woven do not make a book
Except some truth in beauty shine in it.
I bring you this because you overlook
My faults to follow out my probing wit.
And where it fails or falls short of its aim,
You see design and waste nor praise nor blame
On the achievement. Stirring to the will,
Your wit still urges mine to greater skill.
