AGAINST WRITERS THAT CARP AT OTHER MEN'S BOOKS by JOHN HARRINGTON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE READERS AND THE HEARERS LIKE MY BOOKS
Last Line: I WOULD MY GUESTS SHOULD PRAISE IT, NOT THE COOKS.
Subject(s): BOOKS; CRITICS & CRITICISM; READING;
THE readers and the hearers like my books,
And yet some writers cannot them digest:
But what care I? for when I make a feast,
I would my guests should praise it, not the cooks.
