The Excellent Man and Abinger Satire in a Curious Column
A whimsical column mocks noble titles and virtue while lampooning Lord Abinger and Nicholas Suisse as “excellent men.” It laments corruption and warns that privilege cannot hide crime, listing social names and the bar’s critique amid playful verse and a matrimonial advertisement. It also recounts a Plaguey Cool anecdote about a fireworks maker’s wife, a candle, and a gunpowder barrel, from the Bath General Hospital era.

Forge of the past fades into dust and stillness
A fragment recalls a craftsman's decline as hammer, anvil, bellows, and fire fade. The speaker mourns the decay of the forge, its tools laid to waste, and the once lively workshop now silent in the dust. The poem hints at lost skills and vanished industry.
