Synopsis

Excerpt from Prospectus and Specimen of an Intended National Work: Intended to Comprise the Most Interesting Particulars, Relating to King Arthur and His Round Table

And if my Muse can strike a single spark, Why then (as poets say) I'll string my lyre; And then I'll light a great poetic Fire; XI. I'll air them all, and rub down the Round Table, And wash the Canvas clean, and scour the Frames, And put a coat of varnish on the Fable, And try to puzzle out the Dates and Names; Then (as I said before) I'll heave my cable.

Product Description

Excerpt from Prospectus and Specimen of an Intended National Work: Intended to Comprise the Most Interesting Particulars, Relating to King Arthur and His Round Table The following stanzas being for the most part the production of my late brother William Whistlecraft, as composed by him in the year 1813, I have judged (by the advice of my friends) that it would be more suitable to publish them without alteration in any respect and to which I have adhered strictly, as may be seen by a reference to the thirteenth stanza.
