Explore "De Ligurra" by Robert Louis Stevenson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
YOU fear, Ligurra-above all, you long- / That I should smite you with a stinging song.
This dreadful honour you both fear and hope- / Both all in vain: you fall below my scope.
The Lybian lion tears the roaring bull, / He does not harm the midge along the pool.
Lo! if so close this stands in your regard, / From some blind tap fish forth a drunken barn, / Who shall with charcoal, on the privy wall, / Immortalise your name for once and all.
