Dramatic poets, as the times go now, Can hardly write what others will allow; The cynic snarls, the critic howls and barks, And ravens croak to drown the voice of larks: Scorn those stage-harpies! This I'll boldly say, Many may imitate, few match thy play. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO MY FRIEND THE AUTHOR; PREFACE TO 'TIS PITY SHE'S A WHORE' by THOMAS ELLICE TO HIS WORTHY FRIEND, JOHN FORD, UPON HIS 'PERKIN WARBECK' by RALPH EURE HIERARCHY OF ANGELS by THOMAS HEYWOOD TO MY FRIEND, MASTER JOHN FORD; ON 'LOVE'S SACRIFICE' by JAMES SHIRLEY TO HIS FRIEND THE AUTHOR, JOHN FORD; ON 'THE LOVER'S MELANCHOLY' by WILLIAM SINGLETON SONNETS ON ENGLISH DRAMATIC POETS: 6.
