Elizabeth Poem by Edgar Allan Poe
Elizabeth
Elizabeth, it surely is most fit
[Logic and common usage so commanding]
In thy own book that first thy name be writ,
Zeno and other sages notwithstanding;
And I have other reasons for so doing
Besides my innate love of contradiction;

The muses thro' their bowers of Truth or Fiction,

Read nothing, written less - in short's a fool
Endued with neither soul, nor sense, nor art,
Being ignorant of one important rule,
Employed in even the theses of the school-
Called - I forget the heathenish Greek name
[Called anything, its meaning is the same]
'Always write first things uppermost in the heart.'

Being ignorant of one important rule, Employed in even the theses of the school- Called - I forget the heathenish Greek name the great Allen poe
