EPIGRAM ON HIS GARDEN SHED (2), by WILLIAM COWPER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Instead of a pound or two, spending a mint
Last Line: At last out of doors, and have no house to live in.
First Line: Instead of a pound or two, spending a mint
Last Line: At last out of doors, and have no house to live in.
