TO PHILAUTUS.

(_FROM THE LATIN OF BUCHANAN_.)

Narcissus loved himself we know,

And you, perhaps, have cause to show

Why you should do the same;

But he was wrong: and, if I may,

Philautus, I will freely say,

I think you more to blame.

He loved what others loved; while you

Admire what other folks eschew.
