[A Preface and a Piracy]
PROLOGUE
OF borrow’d plumes I take the sin,
My extracts will apply
To some few silly songs which in
These pages scatter’d lie.
The words are Edgar Allan Poe’s,
As any man may see,
But what a Poe-t wrote in prose,
Shall make blank verse for me.
One hopes this is not confession but humor instead. It tickled my funny bone
Blank verse for me! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I would like to translate this poem
Excellent description of poetry & prose vis-a-vis the writings of Edgar Ellen Poe. Thanks.
