Opis: Cothurnus and Lyre (Classic Reprint) - Harding Edward John

Excerpt from Cothurnus and Lyre

This is my heart, O Sybaritic world!
Will't please you to behold it, masters mine!
Marry, 'tis not so luscious as a peach,
Nor hath it the fine flavor of your pippin -
"Tis in the wrong for that; I cry you mercy!
But these same cursed Muses, look you, friends,
When they do love a man, why, they will use him
(Saving your presence) as the vampires would;
And many a time beneath the stony stars
When you, fair sirs, are sleeping sound abed,
They circumcise his heart and quaff his blood,
And lash him with a scourge of knotty rhymes
About his garret until morning bares
Her bosoms rosy-budded, golden-girt,
That you, sweet souls, may have a simple song
Served with your breakfast. He nor peace of mind
Nor woman's love, nor necessary friends,
Nor any hope of mortal happiness
May long enjoy; the Furies at his hearth
Sit uninvited; to his grave he goes,
Hanged with a halter of his own harp-strings!
Wherefore it comes, good friends, this heart of mine
Hath lost his early bloom and springtide smell;
'Twill none the less serve for a little sport.
So please you, I will be your worships' guide
Over the surface of this microcosm:
I am familiar with it - give me leave.
Thus ugly hole was cloven by a girl.
