The Posthumous Works of Ann Eliza Bleecker/On a great Coxcomb recovering from an Indisposition
(Redirected from On a great coxcomb)
(recovering from an Indisposition)
Narcissus (as Ovid informs us) expir'd,
Consum'd by the flames his own beauty had fir'd;
But N---o (who like him is charm'd with his face,
And sighs for his other fair-self in the glass)
Loves to greater excess than Narcissus---for why?
He loves himself too much to let himself die.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
