Miltonum vir (O facinus nefarium!) Exagitavit tanquam plagiarium. Miramur, hanc qui protulisset thesin, Quid esse Momus crederet Poesin. Num, quæso, vult ut, hâc obstetricante, Dicendum sit quod nemo dixit ante? O admirandam hominis versuti Calliditatem, quâ volebat uti! Dixisset ipse, nimium securus, Quod nemo dicet præsens aut futurus, Dum felis ungues persequentur murem, Miltonum, scilicet, fuisse furem. Exulent ergo, (ejus ex effatis) Quicunque nomen usurparint vatis; Nullum vocemus, prorsus, ad examen Eorum sensum, vim, aut modulamen;— Furantur omnes;— habeamus verum Poetam exhinc unicum Lauderum! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AT THE MERMAID TAVERN (APRIL 10, 1613) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS MAN IN A ROOM by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE PAINS OF SLEEP by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE ODE TO MASTER ANTHONY STAFFORD [TO HASTEN HIM INTO COUNTRY] by THOMAS RANDOLPH AT BAY RIDGE, LONG ISLAND by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH |
