Book excerpt: Excerpt from After-Dinner Poetry and Sentiment: A Collection of Short English Verse Appropriate for After-Dinner Reading and Speaking; And Agreeable, Always This collection of short English poems represents a part of the random reading of an over-worked lawyer, who, for several years, has had little time for more ambitious reading. Many evenings, after dinner, have these light-hearted, whole-souled bards added a glow of warmth to a disposition chilled by the secular work of the day; and their beautiful words, tender sentiments, patriotic impulses, humor, passion, pathos and hilarity, have helped to drive away dull.
