First Line: Voiture! Whose gentle paper's so refin'd
Last Line: And what you speak not tastes on't, but is it.
Subject(s): Voiture, Vincent De (1598-1648)
VOITURE! whose gentle paper's so refin'd,
As he comes out not characters but mind;
Whose Letters so abstract he doth dispense,
That he's not writer but intelligence,
All air, fire, spirit. Reader, be blest
To be calcin'd thus nobly, and possess'd,
Whilst your first thoughts now break as prim'tive wit,
And what you speak not tastes on't, but is it.
