TO SOME GREAT ONES; EPIGRAM by CHARLES COTTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: POETS ARE GREAT MEN'S TRUMPETS, POETS FAIN
Last Line: YOU MAKE THE POETS, NOT THE POETS YOU.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;

POETS are great men's trumpets, Poets fain,
Create them virtues, but dare hint no stain:
This makes the fiction constant, and does show
You make the Poets, not the Poets you.
