are opposed to any development of the satirical mood. The impression of
sympathy will even neutralize the satire, in poems in which the latter
is directly and conciously conveyed: as, for instance, in "Caliban upon
Setebos," and "The Bishop orders his Tomb at Saint Praxed's Church." Of
grim or serious satire, there is, I think, only one specimen among his
works: the first part of

"Holy-Cross Day." ("Dramatic Romances." Published in "Men and
Women," 1855.)

We may class as playful satires (which I give in the order of their
importance):

"Pacchiarotto, and how he worked in Distemper." (1876.)

"Filippo Baldinucci on the Privilege of Burial."
("Pacchiarotto, and other Poems." 1876.)

"Up at a Villa--Down in the City." ("Dramatic Lyrics."
Published in "Men and Women." 1855.)

"Another Way of Love." ("Dramatic Lyrics." Published in "Men
and Women." 1855.)

We have a purely humorous picture in

"Garden Fancies, II. Sibrandus Schafnaburgensis." ("Dramatic
Lyrics." Published in "Dramatic Romances and Lyrics." 1845.)
