  1. " Now, poet, there's a subject for thy muse,"
  2. He said: (too well, alas, he knows his trade,)
  3. For in my breast a mortal wound he made.
  4. Far hence ye proud Hexameters remove,
  5. My verse is pac'd, and tramell'd into love.
  6. With myrtle wreaths my thoughtful brows enclose,
  7. While in unequal verse I sing my woes.
  1. Ah me! why am I so uneasy grown?
