ON THE GREEK SCHOLAR GOTTFRIED HERMANN by RICHARD PORSON

First Line: THE GERMANS IN GREEK
Last Line: AND HERMANN'S A GERMAN.
Subject(s): GREEK LANGUAGE; HERMANN, GOTTFRIED (1772-1848);
The Germans in Greek,
Are sadly to seek,
Not five in five score,
But ninety-five more, --
All, save only Hermann,
And Hermann's a German.
