Excerpt from The Age of Print: A Poem, Delivered Before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, at Cambridge, 26 August, 1830

But not to linger round these thankless days, Leave we their sadness on our own to gaze. This rambling guess-work of the past is pain; Let Fancy then retire - but Truth remain. And let the emblem worth or worthless be, That marks the era of complacent we, Home to both wise and witless it must come, A truth that strikes all disputation dumb, Books by the bale proclaim it without stint, Era of paper, and the age or print.
