Robert Southey to John May, 11 July, 1797: 'I thank you for Chapelain. I read his poem with the hope of finding something & would gladly have reversed the sentence of condemnation, which I must in common honesty confirm. it is very bad indeed, & please only by its extreme absurdity. I have analyzed it, & the analysis will amuse you.'
