TO MR. D'URFEY, UPON HIS INCOMPARABLE BALLADS CALL'D BY HIM LYRIC ODES, by THOMAS (TOM) BROWN First Line: Thou cur, half french, half english breed Last Line: And pindar beat thy brains out. Subject(s): D'urfey, Thomas (1653-1723); Hate | |||
Thou Cur, half French, half English Breed, Thou Mungrel of Parnassus, To think tall Lines, run up to Seed, Should ever tamely pass on. Thou write Pindaricks, and be damn'd! Write Epigrams for Cutlers; None with thy Lyricks can be shamm'd But Chamber-Maids and Butlers. In t' other World expect dry Blows; No Tears can wash thy Stains out; Horace will pluck thee by the Nose And Pindar beat thy Brains out. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE THE WILD SWAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS HATRED by GWENDOLYN B.
