| The Mary Rose, perhaps planned under Henry VII, sank in 1545 |
I confess I do not like to see
words written out of melody.
On the page alarms do ring
whene'er the author makes them sing
out of tune to aural sense,
mixing past and perfect tense.
As when The Rosemary instantly sunk,
an ugly phrase that goes kerplunk.
