This author's turn towards conservatism caused him to be excoriated in a poem claiming "Just for a handful of silver he left us / Just for a riband to stick in his coat.
This author collaborated with Mary Barker on a poem admonishing Lord Byron to "Halt in thy insane career," entitled "Lines addressed to a noble lord." This author's turn towards conservatism caused him to be excoriated in a poem claiming "Just for a handful of silver he left us / Just for a riband to stick in his coat." This target of Robert Browning's poem "The Lost Leader" was also lampooned in Percy Shelley's poem "Peter Bell the Third." Along with Robert Southey, he was mocked in the (*) dedication to Don Juan (JOO-on), which satirized the pretentiousness of his long poem The Excursion. He wrote "The very houses seem asleep / And all that mighty heart is lying still" in a poem about his view of London from Westminster Bridge, and described a woman who "sings a melancholy strain" while she "alone...cuts and binds the grain" in "The Solitary Reaper." For 10 points, name this British Lake poet of The Prelude and "Tintern Abbey."
