Top Tenth

    “One day He

    “Of Ickworth’s boys, their father’s joys,
    There is but one a bad one;
    The tenth is he, the parson’s fee,
    And indeed he is a sad one.
    No love of fame, no sense of shame,
    And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
    Without, all brass; within, all ass,
    And the puppy’s name is Felly.”
    —Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
