Lofty or lowly.
Light as the thistle down,
As cypress holy—
When poets whisper near,
Go join the dancers;
And turn a stony ear
To all romancers.
—James Smith.
Why should I toil in such a fruitless cause,
To serve a flirt, who only heeds the laws
Lofty or lowly.
Light as the thistle down,
As cypress holy—
When poets whisper near,
Go join the dancers;
And turn a stony ear
To all romancers.
—James Smith.
Why should I toil in such a fruitless cause,
To serve a flirt, who only heeds the laws
