Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - Conflict Of Wit And Beauty
Work rating: Low

Sir Wit, who is so much esteem`d, 
And who is worthy of all honour, 
Saw Beauty his superior deem`d 
By folks who loved to gaze upon her; 
At this he was most sorely vex`d. 

Then came Sir Breath (long known as fit 
To represent the cause of wit), 
Beginning, rudely, I admit, 
To treat the lady with a text. 

To this she hearken`d not at all, 
But hasten`d to his principal: 
"None are so wise, they say, as you,-- 
Is not the world enough for two? 

If you are obstinate, good-bye! 
If wise, to love me you will try, 
For be assured the world can ne`er 
Give birth to a more handsome pair."
