2014-11-10 15 Dailymotion

What though, for showing truth to flatter'd state, <br />Kind Hunt was shut in prison, yet has he, <br />In his immortal spirit, been as free <br />As the sky-searching lark, and as elate. <br />Minion of grandeur! think you he did wait? <br />Think you he nought but prison-walls did see, <br />Till, so unwilling, thou unturn'dst the key? <br />Ah, no! far happier, nobler was his fate! <br />In Spenser's halls he stray'd, and bowers fair, <br />Culling enchanted flowers; and he flew <br />With daring Milton through the fields of air: <br />To regions of his own his genius true <br />Took happy flights. Who shall his fame impair <br />When thou art dead, and all thy wretched crew?<br /><br />John Keats<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-iii-written-on-the-day-that-mr-leigh-hunt-left-prison/
