Edmund Waller · Barroco

To Mr. Killegrew, upon his altering his play, Pandora

inglés

html.skin-theme-clientpref-night @media(prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os }Sir, you should rather teach our Age the way
Of judging well, than thus have chang'd your Play.
You had oblig'd us by employing Wit,
Not to Reform Pandora, but the Pit.
For as the Nightingale, without the Throng
Of other Birds, alone attends her Song:
While the lowd Daw, his Throat displaying, draws
The whole assembly of his Fellow-Daws.
So must the Writer, whose productions should
Take with the Vulgar, be of vulgar mould:

Whilst nobler Fancies make a flight too high
For common view, and lessen as they fly.
