FRAGMENT OF METRICAL EPISTLE, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Such verse as bowles, heart-honoured poet sang Last Line: With my own laughter stifled my own wit. Subject(s): Bowles, William Lisle (1762-1850) | ||||||||
Such Verse as Bowles, heart-honour'd Poet, sang, That wakes the Tear yet steals away the Pang, Then or with Berkley or with Hobbes romance it Dissecting Truth with metaphysic lancet. Or drawn from up those dark unfathom'd Wells In wiser folly clink the Cap & Bells. How many tales we told! what jokes we made! Conundrum, Crambo, Rebus, or Charade; AEnigmas, that had driven the Theban' mad, And Puns then best when exquisitely bad; And I, if aught of archer vein I hit, With my own Laughter stifled my own Wit. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNETS ON EMINENT CHARACTERS: 7.
