MISCELLANIES1850
TO PHILAUTUS
By RUFUS.
(*From the Latin of Buchanan*.) Narcissus loved himself we know, And you, perhaps, have cause to show Why you should do the same; But he was wrong: and, if I may, Philautus, I will freely say, I think you more to blame. He loved what others loved; while you Admire what other folks eschew.
