Thomas Campion "Novelties" translation

A Poem by Michael R. Burch

Novelties
by Thomas Campion
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch


Booksellers laud authors for novel editions
as pimps praise their w****s for exotic positions.

***

Original Latin text:

IN LIBRARIOS
by Thomas Campion

Impressionum plurium librum laudat
Librarius; scortum nec non minus leno.
