Borrow’D Plumes
Adam Lindsay Gordon
[A Preface and a Piracy]
PROLOGUE
OF borrowd plumes I take the sin,
My extracts will apply
To some few silly songs which in
These pages scatterd lie.
The words are Edgar Allan Poes,
As any man may see,
But what a Poe-t wrote in prose,
Shall make blank verse for me.
