title = "Familiar Verse",
abstract = "Throughout his long career, Swift produced a wide range of what we might advisedly call familiar verses. This chapter begins by looking at the light-hearted poems that Swift wrote for a small, private readership, in which he jests with self-mockery and absurdity. The second section explores the poems that Swift wrote during his stints at Market Hill. Light verse can be serious, this chapter argues, and Swift{\textquoteright}s best writing can be both amusing and weighty.",
