Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poet and Elegiac Poems Scorn Ye Not The Poet. Scorn ye not the poet, God´s foster-child! Ye who brood o´er shelves, with silver thronged, Know that he at earth´s sweet prelude longed First to pipe his lay in God´s own guild! Ye, that crouch in timid awe and fear - Ye, that coin a thousand shames each year - Ye, that prowl about, with pride as arms - Ye, that bring to Virtue many harms! Scorn ye not the poet, God´s lesser self! For he reads the scrolls that God hath writ - He is donned with wisdom, and with wit - He, whom God entrusts to scan His Shelf - Scorn him ¬ for scorning him is sin! Ye, that lead a life to cheat and win - Ye, that bask in garbs, brocaded o´er - Ye, that trumpet "Gold" forevermore! Scorn ye not the poet, God´s foster-child! Ye, that live but lulled by Epicure - Ye, that doze in arms o´ a synecure - Know his soul to be a temple undefiled - His heart a tender solace, good and true - About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
