Association of Ideas Lyrics by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The Complete Poetical Works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Vol II

0

&nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspI.—By Likeness
Fond, peevish, wedded pair! why all this rant?
O guard your tempers! hedge your tongues about
This empty head should warn you on that point—
The teeth were quarrelsome, and so fell out.
S. T. C.
       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspII.—Association by Contrast
Phidias changed marble into feet and legs.
Disease! vile anti-Phidias! thou, i' fegs!
Hast turned my live limbs into marble pegs.
       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspIII.—Association by Time
       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbsp       &nbspSIMPLICIUS SNIPKIN loquitur
I touch this scar upon my skull behind,
And instantly there rises in my mind
Napoleon's mighty hosts from Moscow lost,
Driven forth to perish in the fangs of Frost.[985]
For in that self-same month, and self-same day,
Down Skinner Street I took my hasty way—
Mischief and Frost had set the boys at play;
I stept upon a slide—oh! treacherous tread!—
Fell smash with bottom bruised, and brake my head!
Thus Time's co-presence links the great and small,
Napoleon's overthrow, and Snipkin's fall.
