John Keats - Sonnet. Written Before Re-Read King Lear
Work rating: Low

O golden-tongued Romance with serene lute! 
     Fair plumed Syren! Queen of far away!
     Leave melodizing on this wintry day,
Shut up thine olden pages, and be mute:
Adieu! for once again the fierce dispute,
     Betwixt damnation and impassion`d clay
     Must I burn through; once more humbly assay
The bitter-sweet of this Shakespearian fruit.
Chief Poet! and ye clouds of Albion,
     Begetters of our deep eternal theme,
When through the old oak forest I am gone,
     Let me not wander in a barren dream,
But when I am consumed in the fire,
Give me new Phoenix wings to fly at my desire.
