Moral Emblems Moral Emblems 1 Moral Emblems Poem: NOT Poem: I Some like drink In a pint pot, Some like to think; Some not. Strong Dutch cheese, Old Kentucky rye, Some like these; Not I. Some like Poe, And others like Scott, Some like Mrs. Stowe; Some not. Some like to laugh, Some like to cry, Some like chaff; Not I. Poem: II Here, perfect to a wish, We offer, not a dish, But just the platter: A book thats not a book, A pamphlet in the look But not the matter. I own in disarray: As to the flowers of May The frosts of Winter; To my poetic rage, The smallness of the page And of the printer.
