View PlansMany are poets, but without the name;
For what is Poesy but to create
From overfeeling Good or Ill; and aim
At an external life beyond our fate,
And be the new Prometheus of new men,
Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too late,
Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain
It glides along the water looking blackly,
Just like a coffin clapt in a canoe,
Where none can make out what you say or do.
We are all selfish and I no more trust myself than others with a good motive.
