The Last Words of a Poetaster

Farewell, O wings of poesy

No longer shall dwell in the ecstasy
The metaphors and similes of melancholy
Of a tarnished soul and minor poetry
My mean words shall never plague thee
Nor ride on the flights of calamity
Farewell,O wings of poesy
Remember your dear friend
A subject of your excellency
Worthless were my endeavors
To ruffle your fine feathers
Never shall my heart sing
With your grandiose melody
Forgive me,for I was foolish
Lost are my words and alacrity
Farewell, O wings of poesy
Never ever shall I plague thee
To strain your beauteous realm
With my vacillating meter and rhyme
Farewell! for I am not worthy of thee.
