Courtesies of the Trade

May's nearly gone, but the hawthorne May'd it.
Perhaps it knows that it must do some-
Thing as Henry Wadsworth L. essay'd it
In re the skipper's daughter's bosom.
Since one so great at powerful authorin'
Was mentioned thus by such a strong fellow,
The question now comes up -- did Hawthorne
In his yarns ever plug Longfellow?
