This Is A New Release Of The Original 1918 Edition.

Excerpt from The Stag's Hornbook Wheneer I quote I seldom take From bards whom angel hosts environ; But usually some damned rake Like Byron. Of Whittier I think a lot, My fancy to him often turns; But when I quote tis some such sot As Burns. I'm very fond of Bryant, too, He brings to me the woodland smelley; Why should I quote that "village roo," P. Shelley? I think Felicia Hemans great, I dote upon Jean Ingelow; Yet quote from such a reprobate As Poe. To quote from drunkard or from rake Is not a proper thing to do. I find the habit hard to break, Don't you? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
