Sonnets on Eminent Characters
IX. To Priestley
By Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Tho' rous'd by that dark Vizir RIOT rude
Have driven our PRIESTLY o'er the ocean swell
Tho' mother mouse and her pinkish brood
Calm at these co-ordinates dwell
Knowing where the group had stones thrown for loggin'
Un-locked to all who use their Noggin
With child-like skill to find the year
In which this mouse did first appear.
My first is the first of E
My second is N
My third, to a roman, is ten times R
My fourth is the middle of A
My fifth, to a roman, is ten times C
My sixth is the last of L
My seventh is the middle of S
My eighth appears twice in G
My whole is a flower carved on one of the nine
Along with herring of red
Eight different digits all is there to find
In mouse-like order said
N X2° 2X.XXX W 002° 00.XXX
