Victorian Literature: Sixty Years of Books and Bookmen
Shorter, Clement King
English literature -- 19th century -- History and criticism
"For fifty years he listened at the door,
And heard some scandal, but invented more.
This he wrote down; and statesmen, queens, and kings,
Appear before us quite as common things.
Most now are dead; yet some few still remain
To whom these 'Memoirs' give a needless pain;
For though they laugh, and say ''Tis only Greville,'
They wish him and his 'Memoirs' at the D--l."
