Excerpt from A Collection of Miscellaneous Poems
A Poet (poor fellow! That is nothing strange) Has tried through Fortune's path to get along His new ideas forever dwell on change Will that pass current for an idle song? The price of modern poetry is cheap Wit, like good wine, is better old than new; Shall I, who by my wits must live, yet weep? No - diamond like, I'll cut my bright way through Aye, through the world in which I'll cut a dash, And run the gauntlet tho' the Critics lash: Yet if my diamond wit should prove but paste, When through the better, so I'm off in haste.
