COUPLET ON WIT: 6 by ALEXANDER POPE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WOU'D YOU YOUR WRITINGS TO SOME PALATES FIT
Last Line: THEY PRAISE NO WORKS BUT WHAT ARE LIKE THEIR OWN.
Subject(s): WIT & HUMOR;
Wou'd you your writings to some Palates fit
Purge all your verses from the sin of wit
For authors now are so conceited grown
They praise no works but what are like their own.
