Alexander Pope - 2 - Robert Speaight & Maxine Audley

Let Sporus tremble--"What? That thing of silk,
Sporus, that mere white curd of ass's milk?
Satire or sense, alas, can Sporus feel,
Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?'
Yet let me flap this bug with gilded wings,
This painted child of dirt, that stinks and stings;
Whose buzz the witty and the fair annoys,
Yet wit ne'er tastes, and beauty ne'er enjoys:
So well-bred spaniels civilly delight
In mumbling of the game they dare not bite.

A word wizard with a rapier-like sting. Alexander Pope read by Robert Speaight and Maxine Audley. A Spoken Arts recording from c.1960.
