Melodies XLIX; Epigram After One Of J. V. Cunningham's

Arms and the man I sing, who, with his two,

could not compete with us, who have a few,

at gaming tables.  His extraordinary

efforts to keep up could not be called very

successful on the interplanetary

scale, or the broad, and interstellar, view.

 

Starward

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The first line quotes the first line of Vergil's epic poem, The Aeneid, as did J. V. Cunningham in his famous couplet about an adolescent boy's coming of age.
