literae humaniores AS favete linguis

For their cowed silence is a but 'Favete linguis' of cowardly accord
Odious to me is the malodorous crowd fain to self-ward
'gainst this sui generis Song re-sacralising Muses stale or profane
Till Fate abate, or Hymen recuses odes from Love's refrain.

Envoi- 
Peace hath a Prince! Tho' Shame the Name that ekes itself out as bride
Till, Time so narrow, that Pride's butt cheeks, it itself spread wide.
