Matthew Prior. Poems on Several Occasions | ||
On the Same Person.
While faster than his costive Brain indites,Philo's quick Hand in flowing Letters writes;
His Case appears to Me like honest Teague's,
When he was run away with, by his Legs.
Phoebus, give Philo o'er Himself Command;
Quicken his Senses, or restrain His Hand.
Let Him be kept from Paper, Pen, and Ink:
So may He cease to Write, and learn to Think.
