Samuel Taylor Coleridge - CologneSamuel Taylor Coleridge - Cologne
Work rating: Low


In Köhln, a town of monks and bones,     And pavements fang`d with murderous stones     And rags, and hags, and hideous wenches;     I counted two and seventy stenches,     All well defined, and several stinks!     Ye Nymphs that reign o`er sewers and sinks,     The river Rhine, it is well known,     Doth wash your city of Cologne; But tell me, Nymphs, what power divine Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine?
