Apollo, why no sound of heavenly lyre?
Why no flame of inspiring poetic fire?
How can I write a glorious hymn
With no idea how to begin?
Apollo, strum your sounding lyre
Let my compositions never tire.
Why refrain from helping me,
When I should write praise of thee?
If my efforts are beneath your contempt,
Perhaps one Muse could me be lent?
My brain with unwritten poetry teems
I just need Apollo’s aid it seems.
Can I compose without thy consent?
To praise Apollo my only intent.
This poor verse is far from good
With Apollo’s aid be better I would.
Yet perhaps Apollo is asleep or out
To give Apollo praise, that I doubt
These verses show Muses’ help is my need
Poetry without inspiration is bad, indeed.
