Poet Analysis

First Line: IN COPEMAN'S EAR THIS TRUTH LET ECHO TELL
Last Line: OF GOLDEN CLIENTS, FOR HIS GOLDEN BIRDS.
Subject(s): PHEASANTS;
IN Copeman's ear this truth let Echo tell,--
"Immortal bards like mortal pheasants well;"
And when his clerkship's out, I wish him herds
Of golden clients, for his golden birds.
