'Owl tries unsuccessfully to imitate the lark. May be a skit on Robert Lowe.' (Webby)

Notes

  • Editor's note: N.B. - The above was unfortunately mislaid until now. - ED. C.O.
  • The phrase 'weak optics' in the verse and the concluding line 'That owls who would be safe should keep be-Low(E)' seem to point to Robert Lowe as the subject of the poem.
