Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Charge to the Poets In point of what the world and you call fame, (I judge but by conjecture) much the same. But whether right or wrong I judge, to you It matters not: the following fact is true. From nobler names, and great in each degree, The pension´d Laurel has devolv´d to me. To me, ye Bards; and, what you´ll scarce conceive, Or, at the best, unwillingly believe, Howe´er unworthily I wear the crown, Unask´d it came, and from a hand unknown. Then, since my King, and Patron have thought fit To place me on the throne of modern wit, My grave advice, my brethren, hear at large; As Bishops to their Clergy give their charge, Tho´ many a Priest, who listens, might afford Perhaps more solid counsel to my Lord. To you, ye guardians of the sacred fount, Deans and Archdeacons of the double mount, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
