Tongue-dougthy pedant; whose ambitious mind - ZaunköniG - 29.07.2007
Tongue-dougthy pedant; whose ambitious mind
Prompts thee beyond thy native pitch to soar;
And, imped with borrowed plumes of index-lore,
Range through the vast of science unconfined!
Not for thy wing was such a flight designed:
Know thy own strength, and wise attempt no more;
But lowly skim round error's winding shore,
In quest of paradox from sense refined
Much hast thou written - more than will be read;
Then cease from Shakespeare thy unhallowed rage;
Nor by a fond o'er-weening pride misled,
Hope fame by injuring the sacred dead:
Know, who would comment well his godlike page,
Critic, must have a heart as well as head.
