John Keats, 1821


                              Who killed John Keats?
                                'I,' says the Quarterly,
                              So savage and Tartarly;
                                ''Twas one of my feats.'

                              Who shot the arrow?
                                'The poet-priest Milman
                              (So ready to kill man),
                                Or Southey or Barrow.'
