...The Arts, that thro' dark centuries have pin'd,
Toil'd without fame, in sordid chains confin'd,

Couched in most friendly words,
Came prayers for letters, tales, or verse
From literary birds.
Whereat the renovated fowl
With grateful thanks profuse,
Took from her wing a quill and wrote
This lay of a Golden Goose....Read more of this...
