NOT EVERY DAY FIT FOR VERSE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tis not ev'ry day, that I
Last Line: That brave spirit comes agen.
Subject(s): Creative Ability; Inspiration; Creativity


'Tis not ev'ry day, that I
Fitted am to prophesie:
No, but when the Spirit fils
The fantastick Pannicles:
Full of fier; then I write
As the Godhead doth indite.
Thus inrag'd, my lines are hurl'd,
Like the Sybells, through the world.
Look how next the holy fier
Either slakes, or doth retire;
So the Fancie cooles, till when
That brave Spirit comes agen.
