or his Learning known,
And by successful gleanings made his Own.
So careful Bees, on a fair Summer's Day,
Hum o'er the Flowers, and suck the sweets away.
O had thy Poet, _Britany_, rely'd
On native Strength, and Foreign Aid deny'd!
Had not wild Fairies blasted his Design,
_Maeanides_ and _Virgil_ had been Thine!
Their Finish'd Poems He exactly view'd,
But _Chaucer's_ steps _religiously_ pursu'd.

[_Ben. Johnson_.]

He cull'd, and pick'd, and thought it greater praise
T'adore his Master, than improve his Phrase;
'Twas counted Sin to deviate from his Page;
So secred was th' Authority of Age!
The Coyn must sure for _currant Sterling_ pass,
Stamp'd with old _Chaucer's Venerable Face_.
But _Johnson_ found it of a gross _Alloy_,
Melted it down, and slung the Dross away
He dug pure Silver from a _Roman Mine_,
And prest his Sacred Image on the Coyn.
We all rejoyc'd to see the pillag'd Oar,
Our Tongue inrich'd, which was so poor before.
Fear not, Learn'd Poet, our impartial blame,
Such Thefts as these add Lustre to thy Name.
Whether thy labour'd Comedies betray
The Sweat of _Terence_, in thy Glorious way,
Or _Catliine_ plots better in thy Play.
Whether his Crimes more excellently shine,
Whether we hear the Consul's Voice Divine,
And doubt which merits most, _Rome's Cicero_, or Thine.
All yield, consenting to sustain the Yoke,
And learn the Language which the Victor spoke.
So _Macedon's Imperial Hero_ threw
His wings abroad, and conquer'd as he flew.
Great _Johnson's_ Deeds stand Parallel with His,
Were _Noble Thefts, Successful Pyracies_.

Souls of a Heroe's, or a Poet's Frame
Are fill'd with larger particles of flame.
Scorning confinement, for more Land they groan,
And stretch beyond the Limits of their Own.

[_Fletcher_ and _Beaument_]

_Fletcher_, whose Wit, like some luxuriant Vine,
Profusely wanton'd in each golden Line.
Who, prodigal of Sense, by _Beaumont's_ care,
Was prun'd

Oscar Fingal OFlahertie Wills Wilde (16 October 1854 30 November 1900) was an Irish playwright, novelist, poet, and author of short stories. Known for his biting wit, he was one of the most successful playwrights of late Victorian London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Raised in Dublin he later studied at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford. After graduating with honours he spent the next few years in London, the United States and Paris. He married Constance Lloyd in 1884 and the couple had two sons. As the result of a widely covered trial, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years of hard labour after being convicted of the offence of gross indecency.

Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2003. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]
