LAMII'S APOLOGY FOR HIS NONSENSE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I was parrot, mute, and happy, till
Last Line: The melancholy wit they taught me


I was a parrot mute and happy, till
Once on a time,
The fowlers pierced the wood and caught me.
Then blame me not; for I but echo still
In wayward rhyme
The melancholy wit they taught me.
