A Few Clerihews for Jane Austen's "Emma"

Emma was a dear
But in love did interfere
'Til she found love rightly
In the handsome Mr. Knightley.

Poor Miss Taylor -
As a governess, a failure,
And she gained a devious son
When she married Mr. Weston.

The Vicar, Mr. Elton, tried
To make wealthy Emma his bride.
A proposal from that dolt
Caused her every feeling to revolt!

Chattering Miss Bates
Speaks when she should hesitate
But Hetty swallowed a bitter pill
When Emma was rude on Box Hill.
