Poems of James McIntyre (Ingersoll, ON: Chronicle, 1889)
Bit of an Edward Gorey feel to it, don't you think?
James McIntyre had such a hard time with names. For instance, there's that tribute to Susanna Moodie, in which he not only messes up her surname, but refers to William Lyon Mackenzie as "McKenzie". Here, of course, "Shelly" is Shelley. Perhaps a good thing that McIntyre didn't include the full name – Percy seems safe, but Bysshe is tricky.
