The Taste Of The Times

________________________________________________
Title:     The Taste Of The Times
Author: Samuel Taylor Coleridge [More Titles by Coleridge]

Some whim or fancy pleases every eye;
For talents premature 'tis now the rage:
In Music how great Handel would have smil'd
T' have seen what crowds are raptur'd with a child!
A Garrick we have had in little Betty--
And now we're told we have a Pitt in Petty!
All must allow, since thus it is decreed,
He is a very _petty_ Pitt indeed!

[The end]
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem: Taste Of The Times
