Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hasty-Pudding; A Poem, in Three Cantos: Written at Chamrery in Savoy During January 1793 Ye Alps audacious, thro´ the heavens that rise, To cramp the day and hide me from the skies; Ye Gallic flags that o´er their heights unfurl´d, Bear death to kings, and freedom to the world, I sing not you. A softer theme I choose, A virgin theme, unconscious of the Muse, But fruitful rich, well suited to inspire The purest frenzy of poetic fire. Despise it not, ye Bards to terror steel´d, Who hurl´d your thunders round the epic field; Nor ye who strain your midnight throats to sing Joys that the vineyard and the still-house bring; Or on some distant fair your notes employ, And speak of raptures that you ne´er enjoy. I sing the sweets I know, the charms I feel, My morning incense, and my evening meal, The sweets of Hasty-Pudding. Come, dear bowl, Glide o´er my palate, and inspire my soul. The milk beside thee, smoking from the kine, Its substance mingl´d, married it with thine, Shall cool and temper thy superior heat, And save the pains of blowing while I eat. Oh! could the smooth, the emblematic song Flow like the genial juices o´er my tongue, Could those mild morsels in numbers chime, And as they roll in substance, roll in rhyme, No more thy awkward unpoetic name, Should shun the Muse, or prejudice thy fame; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
