Читать книгу Don Juan (With Byron's Biography) - Lord Byron - Страница 231

If ever I should condescend to prose,

I'll write poetical commandments, which

Shall supersede beyond all doubt all those

That went before; in these I shall enrich

My text with many things that no one knows,

And carry precept to the highest pitch:

I'll call the work "Longinus o'er a Bottle,AU

Or, Every Poet his own Aristotle."
