POVERTY AND POETRY.
'Twas sung of old, how one Amphion
Could, by his verses, tame a lion, 
And, by his strange enchanting tunes, 
Make bears and wolves dance rigadoons;
His song could call the timber down, 
And form it into house or town:
. . . [12 lines]
Yet, even a-thirst, he sweetly sings, 
Of nectar, and Elysian springs.
. . . [18 more lines]
