Poem by Thomas Campbell

To a Young Lady, Who Asked Him to Write Something Original for Her Album

An original something, dear maid, you would win me
          To write – but how shall I begin?
For I fear I have nothing original in me –
          Excepting Original Sin.

1. Napoleon and the British Sailor
