TO A CAPTIOUS CRITIC by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

First Line: DEAR CRITIC, WHO MY LIGHTNESS SO DEPLORES
Last Line: BUT, SIR, I MAY NOT, TILL YOU ABDICATE.
Subject(s): CRITICS & CRITICISM;
DEAR critic, who my lightness so deplores,
Would I might study to be prince of bores,
Right wisely would I rule that dull estate --
But, sir, I may not, till you abdicate.
