rhyme (v.)
And beauty, making beautiful old rhyme.
He knew
Himself to sing, and build the lofty rhyme.
You think they are crusaders sent
From some infernal clime,
To pluck the eyes of sentiment
And dock the tail of Rhyme,
To crack the voice of Melody
And break the legs of Time.
Give lettered pomp to teeth of Time,
So "Bonnie Doon" but tarry;
Blot out the epic's stately rhyme,
But spare his "Highland Mary!"
But touch me, and no minister so sore;
Whoe'er offends at some unlucky time
Slides into verse, and hitches in a rhyme,
Sacred to ridicule his whole life long,
And the sad burden of some merry song.
Prologues like compliments are loss of time;
'T is penning bows and making legs in rhyme.
I was promised on a time
To have reason for my rhyme;
From that time unto this season,
I received nor rhyme nor reason.
Neither rhyme nor reason.
For what is worth in anything
But so much money as 't will bring?
Not marble, nor the gilded monuments
Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme.
I was promised on a time
To have reason for my rhyme;
From that time unto this season,
I received nor rhyme nor reason.
Still may syllabes jar with time,
Still may reason war with rhyme,
Resting never!
For rhyme the rudder is of verses,
With which, like ships, they steer their courses.
Some have been beaten till they know
What wood a cudgel's of by th' blow;
Some kick'd until they can feel whether
A shoe be Spanish or neat's leather.
Things unattempted yet in prose or rhyme.
