“There are,” the sophist cries, “who never fail
O'er modern things and modern times to wail,
Their jaundiced gaze and discontented eye
Select the faulty and the good deny;
Pleas'd to condemn, with pharasaic pride
They preach and babble till their throats are dried;
Out on the whining gang! so pertly sage,
Long triumph yet our Saturnalian age!”
O'er modern things and modern times to wail,
Their jaundiced gaze and discontented eye
Select the faulty and the good deny;
Pleas'd to condemn, with pharasaic pride
They preach and babble till their throats are dried;
Out on the whining gang! so pertly sage,
Long triumph yet our Saturnalian age!”
