Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the British Poets, Vol. 8: Including the Most Esteemed Translations From the Greek Roman Authors Upon the Dispensary Oh! that some Genius, whose poetic vein Like Montague´s could a just piece sustain, Would search the Grecian and the Latin store, And thence present thee with the purest ore: In lasting numbers praise thy whole design, And manly beauty of each nervous line: Show how your pointed satire´s sterling wit, Does only knaves or formal blockheads hit; Who´re gravely dull, insipidly serene, And carry all their wisdom in their mien. Whom thus expos´d, thus strip´d of their disguise, None will again admire, most will despise. Show in what noble verse Nassan you sing, How such a poet´s worthy such a king. When Somers´ charming eloquence you praise, How loftily your tuneful voice you raise! But my poor feeble Muse is as unfit To praise, as imitate what you have writ. Artists alone should venture to commend What Dennis can´t condemn, nor Dryden mend: What must, writ with that fire and with that ease, The beaux, the ladies, and the critics please.
