[28 May] [?1821]

To dear Papa

On his birthday

 

I hope that you will

Not make me stand still

For now Tippy is come here

You must love her very dear

So now my muse

You must not abuse.

Let us skip and let us play

On this very merry day

But now as you are

Going to malvern so far

We must be away

Or else you will not get there today

I wish you Good bye

For in the air I shall fly.

Your affectionate Sam.

Address, on integral page: for the king / of the day.

Manuscript: Berg Collection.
