A PARODY, by HEINRICH HEINE Poet's Biography
First Line: Indeed they have wearied me greatly
Last Line: Nor true poetical style.
First Line: Indeed they have wearied me greatly
Last Line: Nor true poetical style.
INDEED they have wearied me greatly,
And made me exceedingly sad,
One half with their prose so wretched,
The other with poetry bad.
Their terrible discord has scatter'd
What little senses I had,
One half with their prose so wretched,
The other with poetry bad.
But 'mongst the whole army of scribblers,
They most have stirr'd up my bile,
Who write in neither prosaic
Nor true poetical style.
