Social Commentaries
I am no Homer's Hero you all know
From The Rossetti Manuscript (c. 1793–1818)
Social Commentaries
I am no Homer's Hero you all know;
I profess not Generosity to a Foe.
My Generosity is to my Friends,
That for their Friendship I may make amends.
The Generous to Enemies promotes their Ends,
And becomes the Enemy & Betrayer of his Friends.
