*****
Will I live peaceful? Congratulate me!
Cream does not actually rise to top
On great worth of great worthlessness agree
But throw the present worthy ragged sop
Denied full recognition — not because
Than any poet less deserving be
Or any way forsaken have the cause —
I bow to inevitability
Prepare for pleasures now retirement of
A little writing for a special few
Time meditation for, and time for love
Nor care the rude herd minister unto
