SIR MARTIN MARR-ALL, OR THE FEIGNED INNOCENCE: PROLOGUE, by JOHN DRYDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Fools, which each man meets in his dish Last Line: None welcome those who bring their chear along. Subject(s): Plays & Playwrights ; Poetry & Poets; Dramatists | |||
FOOLS, which each man meets in his Dish each Day, Are yet the great Regalio's of a Play; In which to Poets you but just appear, To prize that highest which cost them so dear: Fops in the Town more easily will pass; One story makes a statutable Ass; But such in Plays must be much thicker sown, Like yolks of Eggs, a dozen beat to one. Observing Poets all their walks invade, As men watch Woodcocks gliding through a Glade: And when they have enough for Comedy, They stow their several Bodies in a Pye: The Poet's but the Cook to fashion it, For, Gallants, you yourselves have found the Wit. To bid you welcome would your bounty wrong; None welcome those who bring their Chear along. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENDING WITH A LINE FROM LEAR by MARVIN BELL ENDING WITH A LINE FROM LEAR by MARVIN BELL SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#20): 1.
