To dearest Octavius
On his birthday
April 11th 1827
1
I hope this will be a beautiful morn
For this is the day on which you were born
Therefore dear Comus come, and this day keep
While, Sommus, we will have none of your sleep.
2
You’re come, the fairest of the joyous Spring,
And I hope a song you will merrily sing;
Apollo attends you, and leaves me now
With all the tribe of the muses I trow.
Your ever affec:te
Charles John Barrett
