Very fun. I like the Lyrical Ballads move at the end.
ReplyDeleteI just Googled Montagu's poem. Very good! What an ending. I'd thought she was friends with Pope at one point. (?)
ReplyDeleteI love Verses on The Death of Dr. Swift. What about the earlier draft? With the more pedestrian but somehow catchier translation of Rouchefoucauld?
