Living
The Re-echo Club: as by John Milton
From The Re-echo Club
Hence, vain, deluding cows.
The herd of folly, without color bright,
How little you delight,
Or fill the Poet's mind, or songs arouse!
But, hail! thou goddess gay of feature!
Hail! divinest purple creature!
Oh, Cow, thy visage is too bright
To hit the sense of human sight.
And though I'd like, just once, to see thee,
I never, never, never'd be thee!
Codex Note
A parody by Carolyn Wells, written in the manner of John Milton as a contribution to the imagined Re-Echo Club (Purple Cow).
