Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Manx Witch: And Other Poems First comes Tom Baynes among these sorted quills, In asynartete octosyllables. Methinks you see the "fo´c´s´le" squat, the squirt Nicotian, various interval of shirt, Enlarged, contract - keen swordsman, cut-and-thrust : Old salt, old rip, old friend, Tom Baynes comes fust. Succeeds our Curate, innocent and good, The growth of Oxford in her sanest mood; Dame Natures child, though bred among the Stoics, And, if he gush, he gushes in heroics. Forgive the youth if sometimes he relax In extra gush of pseudo-dochmiacs. Last hear our Pazon, reverend and meek; In unadornéd verse I make him speak. As is most fit. To him Tom Baynes´ rude style Were "simply barbarous" - I see him smile His smile - "Poor Tom has thoughts beyond his station, But language! sir - unfit for publication." The Curates rhymes he haply thinks audacious, Emphatic, overwrought. "But ´twere ungracious Of me to criticise a gentleman That is so kind and clever." There again You have our Pazon. So he says his say, And all my dreams of Manxland fade away. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
