William Blake - When Klopstock England Defied
Work rating: Low

When Klopstock England defied,
Uprose William Blake in his pride;
For old Nobodaddy aloft
. . . and belch`d and cough`d;
Then swore a great oath that made Heaven quake,
And call`d aloud to English Blake.
Blake was giving his body ease,
At Lambeth beneath the poplar trees.
From his seat then started he
And turn`d him round three times three.
The moon at that sight blush`d scarlet red,
The stars threw down their cups and fled,
And all the devils that were in hell,

Answerèd with a ninefold yell.
Klopstock felt the intripled turn,
And all his bowels began to churn,
And his bowels turn`d round three times three,
And lock`d in his soul with a ninefold key; . . .
Then again old Nobodaddy swore
He ne`er had seen such a thing before,
Since Noah was shut in the ark,
Since Eve first chose her hellfire spark,
Since `twas the fashion to go naked,
Since the old Anything was created . . .
