Do Not Mock Me Poem by James Grengs

Do Not Mock Me

Rating: ★3.2


Do not mock me for my talent-
For if you can do better, than do so,
And I will honor you as the greater.
(I seek no glory for these poor lines.)
But if you are the lesser poet,
Than keep silence among your betters,
And let another admire you,
Not least for your silence.
