To Margaret

Who hath seduced thee to this foul revolt Milton Par. Lost. Bk. I

From the pure well of Beauty undefiled? Somebody

So banished from true wisdom to prefer Cowper’s Task, Book I

Such squalid wit to honourable rhyme?   

To writer? To scribble? Nonsense and no more? Shakespeare

I will not write upon this argument do. Troilus & Cressida

To write is human—not to write divine. Pope Essay on Man
