Discourse on Criticism and of Poetry (1707)

my Song,
Let _Creech_ be numbred with the Sacred Throng.
Whose daring Muse could with _Manilius_ fly,
And, like an _Atlas_, shoulder up the Sky.
He's mounted, where no vulgar Eye can trace
His Wondrous footsteps and mysterious race.
See, how He walks above in mighty strains,
And wanders o'er the wide Ethereal Plains!
He sings what Harmony the Spheres obey,
In Verse more tuneful, and more sweet than they.

'Tis cause of Triumph, when _Rome's_ Genius shines
In nervous _English_, and well-worded Lines.
Two Famous _Latins_[6] our bright Tongue adorn,
And a new _Virgil_[7] is in _England_ born.
An _AEneid_ to translate, and make a new,
Are Tasks of equal Labour to pursue.

[6] _Lucretius_ and _Manilius_.

[7] Mr. _Dryden's_ _Virgil_.

For tho' th' Invention of a Godlike Mind
Excels the Works of Nature, and Mankind;
Yet a well-languag'd Version will require
An equal _Genius_, and as strong a Fire.
These claim at once our Study and our Praise,
Fam'd for the Dignity of Sense and Phrase.
These gainful to the Stationer, shall stand
At _Paul's_ or _Cornhill_, _Fleetstreet_ or the _Strand_.
Shall wander far and near, and cross the Seas,
An Ornament to _Foreign Libraries_.

Hail, Glorious Titles! who have been my _Theme_!
O could I write so well as I esteem!
From her low Nest my humble Soul shou'd rise
As a young _Phoenix_ out of Ashes flies
Above what _France_ or _Italy_ can shew,
The Celebrated _Tasso_, or _Boileau_.

Come You, where'er you be, who seek to find
Something to pleasure, and instruct your Mind:
If, when retir'd from Bus'ness, or from Men,
You love the _Labour'd Travels_ of the Pen;
Imploy the Minutes of your vacant Time
On _Cowley_, or on _Dryden's_ useful Rhyme:
Or whom besides of all the Tribe you chuse,
The _Tragick, Lyrick_, or _Heroick_ Muse:
For they, if well observ'd, will strictly shew
In _Charming Numbers_, what is false, what true,
And teach more good than _Hobb

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]
