Excerpt
Excerpt: DEDICATION TO LUDWIG LEWISOHN. To you, judicious and discerning In wit, in poetry, and learning, I dedicate these random pages. Here is the wisdom of the ages; No insight of the Galilean, No visions to the empyrean; But clever perspicacity Of honest old sagacity, That Man has often found amusing And in his conduct failed of using. For, though the tales were made for reasons, As fitting special times and seasons, Yet, even as men are more than nations, They still have diver?s applications. They go by name of Esop briefly Since Esop didn?t write them chiefly. For some are earlier, some later.
