alex jennings - sonnet 59 - if there be nothing new, but that which is lyrics

Loading...

if there be nothing new, but that which is
hath been before, how are our brains beguil’d
which, labouring for invention, bear amiss
the second burthen of a former child!

o, that record could with a backward look
even of five hundred courses of the sun
show me your image in some antique book
since mind at first in character was done!

that i might see what the old world could say
to this composed wonder of your frame;
whether we are mended, or whe’r better they
or whether revolution be the same

o! sure i am, the wits of former days
to subjects worse have given admiring praise
