To the Author of Poems; Written by Nobody

by John Cunningham

John Cunningham

Advance to Fame — advance reveal'd!
Let conscious worth be bold:
Why have you lain so long conceal'd,
And bid Peruvian gold?

Dan Phaebus did with joy discern
Your genius brought to light,
And many a Somebody should learn,
From Nobody to write.
