Macadam's Motto
" My Essay on Roads, " quoth MacAdam, " lies there,
Result of a life's lucubration:
But does not the title-page look rather bare?
I long for a Latin quotation! "
A Delphin edition of Virgil stood nigh,
To second his classic desire:
Where the road-maker hit on the shepherd's reply —
" Miror magis " — " I rather add mire! "
