On the Receipt of a Jar of Marmalade
How oft the answers to our passing prayers
Drop down in forms our fancy ne'er foretold!
— Thus when, of late, consumed by wasting cares,
" Angels preserve us " from my lips up-rolled,
I'm sure I pictured not, — as thus I prayed, —
Angels preserving me ... with marmalade!
