Poem by Matthew Prior

Epigram («YES, every poet is a fool»)

YES, every poet is a fool:	
  By demonstration Ned can show it:	
Happy, could Ned’s inverted rule	
  Prove every fool to be a poet.

2. An Ode - Presented to the King, on His Majesty's Arrival in Holland, after the Queen's Death
3. Cupid Mistaken
4. A Lover's Anger
5. A Song (In vain you tell your parting lover)
