No. I. was written at the request of some young friends, who had gone to / a ball at an Oxford Commemoration-and also as a specimen of what might be / done by making the Double Acrostic _a connected poem_ instead of what it / has hitherto been, a string of disjointed stanzas, on every conceivable / subject, and about as interesting to read straight through as a page of a / Cyclopedia. The first two stanzas describe the two main words, and each / subsequent stanza one of the cross "lights."
