VERSES: THE SIXTH BOY, by JOHN BYROM Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Lauder! Thy authors dutch and german Last Line: Fast as the vulture can devour. Subject(s): Plagiarism | |||
Lauder! thy authors Dutch and German There is no need to disinter, man! To search the mould'ring anecdote For source of all that Milton wrote; We'll own, from these and many more The bard enrich'd his ample store Phœbus himself could not escape The tricks of this poetic ape; For, to complete his daring vole, From his enliven'd wheels he stole, Prometheus like, the solar ray That animated all his clay. Prometheus like, then, chain him down, Prey on his vitals of renown, With critic talons and with beak Upon his fame thy vengeance wreak;— It grows again at ev'ry hour, Fast as the vulture can devour. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VERSES: THE FIFTH BOY by JOHN BYROM VERSES: THE FOURTH BOY by JOHN BYROM VERSES: THE MASTER'S SPEECH by JOHN BYROM VERSES: THE SECOND BOY by JOHN BYROM VERSES: THE SEVENTH BOY by JOHN BYROM VERSES: THE THIRD BOY by JOHN BYROM EPIGRAM: TO OLD-END GATHERER by BEN JONSON |
