[A Preface and a Piracy] <br /> <br />PROLOGUE <br /> <br />OF borrow’d plumes I take the sin, <br />My extracts will apply <br />To some few silly songs which in <br />These pages scatter’d lie. <br /> <br />The words are Edgar Allan Poe’s, <br />As any man may see, <br />But what a Poe-t wrote in prose, <br />Shall make blank verse for me.<br /><br />Adam Lindsay Gordon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/borrow-d-plumes/
