Matthew Prior (Мэтью Прайор)


On a Fart - Let in the House of Commons


Reader, I was born, and cried;
I crack'd, I smelt, and so I died.
Like Julius Caesar's was my death,
Who in the senate lost his breath.
Much alike entomb'd does lie
The noble Romulus and I:
And when I died, like Flora fair,
I left the commonwealth my heir.

  2. To the Author of the Foregoing Pastoral - (Love and Friendship)
  3. A Song (In vain you tell your parting lover)
  4. Answer to Cloe Jealous. The Author Sick
