occasional verse (prose). Verse written for a particular occa- sion is called “occasional verse,” it is not verse written occasion- ally (once in a while). Such poems can be light or serious. Celebrated examples include Milton’s Lycidas (1637); Tenny- son’s Charge of the Light Brigade (1854); Yeats’s Easter 1916; and Auden’s September 1st 1939. England’s poet laureate is expected to write some occasional verse. |
