Porsoniana
PORSON ON GERMAN SCHOLARSHIP
The Germans in Greek
Are sadly to seek;
Not five in five score,
But ninety-five more;
All, stive only HERMAN,
And HERMAN'S a German.
RICHARD PORSON
A NOTE ON THE LATIN GERUNDS
When Dido found Aeneas would not come,
She mourned in silence, and was Di-Do-Dum.
RICHARD PORSON
TO DR KIPLING
{Editor of the Codex Bezee)
Orthodoxy's staunch adherent,
Bishop Watson's great vice-gerent,
Sub-Professor Dr Kipling,
Leave off your Yorkshire trick of tippling:
For while thy Beza is in hand
Man's salvation's at a stand.
RICHARD PORSON
ON A DOCTOR OF DIVINITY
Here lies a Doctor of Divinity,
He was a fellow of Trinity;
He knew as much about Divinity
As other fellows do of Trinity.
