The works of ancient bards divine, <br />Aulus, thou scorn'st to read; <br />And should posterity read thine, <br />It would be strange indeed! <br /> <br />When little more than boy in age, <br />I deem'd myself almost a sage: <br />But now seem worthier to be styled <br />For ignorance, almost a child.<br /><br />William Cowper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/retalliation/
