Occasioned By The Former

Title:     Occasioned By The Former
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

I hold of all our viperous race
The greedy creeping things in place
Most vile, most venomous; and then
The United Irishmen!
To come on earth should John determine,
Imprimis, we'll excuse his sermon.
Without a word the good old Dervis
Might work incalculable service,
At once from tyranny and riot
Save laws, lives, liberties and moneys,
If sticking to his ancient diet
He'd but eat up our locusts and wild honeys!

[The end]
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: Occasioned By The Former
