[EAN: 9781331814573], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Cupid Abroad, Arrested: Or, a Random Bolt at Hercules Samson Fressmarkle Canto First I. In this progressive age, tis not a dream That men are born, and bred, and educated Up to the fierce velocity of Steam; For Steam s the standard now, by which are rated All men and things that are, or only seem To be, in science, letters, and inflated Puffings of quack-nostrum institutions - Oh, Faustus! save us from these stale intrusions! II. If Steam, then, as I say in my first stanza, Controls the modern physical creation, And ideal entities, like Sancho Panza - The war and politics of this tall nation, - I think, without the least extravaganza, That Poetry, as well as Annexation, Should be propelled by this great motive force, And supercede the use of winged horse. III. My Muses chief objection to old Pegasus, Is, Hercules has ridden him to death - Or nearly so, - and he might break the neck of us, If he should fag and fall for want of breath: And then, th Immortal Nine would raise a speck of fuss, And doom friend Hercules to poetic death, For breaking down their nag with his own weight - The heft of Dullness is immensely great. IV. At least, old Pegasus, if he could talk, Would quickly tell us so, beyond a doubt; For he can only go a hobbling walk, Since Hercules with Cupid, rode him out From fertile Helicon - (the bulky gawk!) To make a tour Abroad, and on the route, To search with diligence for a nonentity, - Id est, for M - r - l C - l - e s identity.
