In D'Israeli's recent Work, the Amenities of Literature, there is an
excellent article upon Skelton, which contains many acute and original
observations. Speaking of the Skeltonical Verse, D'Israeli says, "In
the quick-returning rhymes, the playfulness of the diction, and the
pungency of New Words, usually ludicrous, often expressive, and
sometimes felicitous, there is a stirring spirit, which will be best
felt in an audible reading. The velocity of his verse has a carol of
its own. The chimes ring in the ear, and the thoughts are flung about
like wild Coruscations." See vol. 2, p. 69 to 82. Octavo.
