Apollo's Maggot in his Cups or, the Whimsical Creation of a Little Satyrical Poet. A Lyrick Ode [by Edward Ward] |
 |
 | Apollo's Maggot in his Cups |  |
Whilst Poets scribble for the Baies,
Some will condemn, what others praise:
Reader, do which will please thee best,
The Author only writes in jest,
And leaves the serious part o'th' Quarrel,
To Wits that scuffle for the Laurel.
Some will condemn, what others praise:
Reader, do which will please thee best,
The Author only writes in jest,
And leaves the serious part o'th' Quarrel,
To Wits that scuffle for the Laurel.
