Clough: Dipsychus
REPLY TO DIPSYCHUS
This world is very odd we see,
We do not comprehend it;
But in one fact we all agree,
God won't, and we can't mend it.
Being common sense, it can't be sin
To take it as I find it;
The pleasure to take pleasure in;
The pain, try not to mind it.
These juicy meats, this flashing wine,
May be an unreal mere appearance;
Only—for my inside, in fine,
They have a singular coherence.
Oh yes, my pensive youth, abstain;
And any empty sick sensation,
Remember, anything like pain
Is only your imagination.
Trust me, I've read your German sage
To far more purpose than e'er you did;
You find it in his wisest page,
W^hom God deludes is well deluded.

MASTER OF TRINITY
Who wrote Who wrote Icon Basilike?
I, said the Master of Trinity,
With my small ability,
I wrote Who wrote Icon Basilike?
