Poets Of Printing House Square

Of late we read in prose and in verse,

     In metre and rhythm most rare,

Of a set of good fellows as ever was born,

     The poets of Printing House Square.

And yet I am thinking ‘tis all very well

     That I am off here and they there;

For I can’t help wondering in case of a “touch”,

     Are the poets of Printing House Square?
