Henry James Pye - Dedication: Sent With The Second Edition Of The Poem To His Majesty The King Of Prussia

Imperial Bard! if while my humble strain <br />Thy precepts sung to Albion's warlike train, <br />Her critic ear approving caught the sound, <br />And favoring smiles my finish'd labor crown'd, <br />Her plaudits to thy glowing verse belong <br />But faintly imaged in my ruder song. <br />Then as the Muse to thee assiduous pays <br />This honest tribute of Britannia's praise, <br />Though Fame has cull'd from Phœbus' sacred tree <br />The Poet's and the Victor's wreath for thee, <br />And History shall twine around thy brow <br />Eternal crowns of her unfading bough, <br />Forgive the officious zeal that interweaves <br />This transient blossom with thy Laurel Leaves.<br /><br />Henry James Pye<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dedication-sent-with-the-second-edition-of-the-poem-to-his-majesty-the-king-of-prussia/
