OBSERVATIONS IN THE ART OF ENGLISH POESY: 18. ELEGIAC VERSE: THE FIRST EPIGRAM, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Arthur brooks only those that brook not him
Last Line: But finds none that holds twenty due for him.


Arthur brooks only those that brook not him.
Those he most regards, and devoutly serves:
But them that grace him his great brav'ry scorns
Counting kindness all duty, not desert:
Arthur wants forty pounds, tries ev'ry friend,
But finds none that holds twenty due for him.
