Coleridge: Epigrams
PORSON'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT
I went to Frankfort and got drunk
With that most lcarn'd professor, Brunck;
I went to Wortz and got more drunken
With that more learn'd professor, Ruhnken.
RICHARD PORSON
ON MY JOYFUL DEPARTURE
FROM THE CITY OF COLOGNE
As lama Rhymer,
And now at least a merry one,
Mr Mum's Rudesheimer
And the church of St Geryon
Are the two things alone
That deserve to be known
In the body-and-soul-stinking town of Cologne.
S. T. COLERIDGE
ON A LORD
Here lies the Devil—ask no other name.
Well—but you mean Lord—? Hush! we mean the same.
S. T. COLERIDGE
SWANS SING BEFORE THEY DIE
Swans sing before they die—'twere no bad thing
Should certain persons die before they sing.
