Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Carmina Ephemera: Or Trivial Numbers Carmina Ephemera Heredity. There isn´t an ache that keeps me awake, Nor disease that incurably rages, But ray medical man declares it began In antediluvian ages. Some progenitor first caught the virus accursed, And transmitted it on to his offspring; And that is the cause of this pain in my jaws, And thence does this torturing cough spring. With philosophy (caught from an ancestor taught In the shade of the classical Stoa) I´m enduring the gout, which I owe beyond doubt To the habits of Patriarch Noah. With crafty design he planted the vine, And tasted the pleasures attendant, While the consequent ill, with commendable skill, He bequeathed to his luckless descendant. The case is the same with the faults that you blame, And each little moral obliquity: The censure should fall for each and for all On a person who lived in antiquity.
