To One Who Published In Print

________________________________________________
Title:     To One Who Published In Print
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

WHAT HAD BEEN ENTRUSTED TO HIM BY MY FIRESIDE


Two things hast thou made known to half the nation,
My secrets and my want of penetration:
For O! far more than all which thou hast penn'd
It shames me to have call'd a wretch, like thee, my friend!


First published in _Morning Post_, Sept. 23, 1802. Adapted from Wernicke's _Epigrams_ (Bk. I, No. 12), _An einen falschen Freund._ 'Weil ich mich dir vertraut, eh' ich dich recht gekennet.'
