V. It may be objected that _Mr. Punch's_ fifth example does not strictlyconform to the canons laid down by him in his prefatory remarks to No. I. _Mr. Punch_ neither admits nor denies the charge. He is convinced, however, that those who do him the honour to read these Studies, mightjustly complain if he failed to include in them an example of thework of a Poet who has shown our generation how rusticity and rhymes, cattle and Conservative convictions, peasants and patriotism, may becombined in v...erse. It is scarcely necessary to add that the author ofthe following magnificent piece is Mr. A-FR-D A-ST-N. Like others whomight be named, he has not the honour to be an agricultural labourer;but no living man has sung at greater length of rural life, and itssimple joys. Many of his admirers have asserted that Britain ought tohave more than one Laureate, and that Mr. A-FR-D A-ST-N ought to beamong the number. Others are not prepared to go quite so far. Theyhave been heard to complain that cows and trees, and woodmen andfarms, and sheep and wains, and hay and turnips, do not necessarilysuggest the highest happiness, and that it is not always dignified foran aspiring Poet to be led about helpless through the byeways of senseby those wilful, wanton playfellows, his rhymes.
