There is an error.

Alas! I'm sorry, Ken, if wrongly I challenged you.
(I was in The Grand City, Webless, and just now
did see your message.)
Full cheers did you deserve, but *I* couldnt give
you three of them and still obey this rule.

I'm not sure that I agree this puzzle is too hard.
Book called _Origin_ by Darwin, yes, did effect my goal:
"Hence it seems to me, as it has to many other ..."
and
"were to build for themselves a thin wall of wax,
they could make ..."
or
"abundance of the individuals of many species all over"

Khayyam did obey in best known Rubaiyat:
"Come fill the cup ...
"The Bird of Time has but a little way To fly ..."


And more casually,

"I beg thou, Yes?" "No." "Please, oh yes?" "No!" "Please, oh
please?"
"No ... well, OK, yes." "Oh, yes!" "Oh yes!! Oh yes! Oh Yes!"
"Ohhhhh!!!!!!"

Two cheers you sent,
I was fully content,
Alas! on review of my text, I found my 'But' following my 'too' :)

Light dawns (I hope?)
Scary how many hours I pondered this - and how many rules got despatched.
I agree with a prior message - It has been a struggle in the making of this
reply.
I can't go any further
