Classic and Contemporary Poetry

FOR THE POE CENTENARY by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: HIS PECK-ABILITY TO SHOW
Last Line: HE'D MAKE THEM BITE THE DUST BEFORE HIM.
Subject(s): POE, EDGAR ALLAN (1809-1849);
His Peck-ability to show,
Let Harry Thurston Peck at Poe,
And thank his stars like Matthews Brander
That Poe is silent now to slander;
Or by the scourge with which they score him
He'd make them bite the dust before him.
