Excerpt from John P. Williams Lyric, Domestic and Sacred Poems It is not the aim of the author to exhibit any pre-eminence whatever in this book of poems, nor to try to transcend the wonderful flight of other bards. But rather humiliate himself and sit thunder-struck under the shadow of their broad lusty wins. He does not think that his verse flows in ecstatic harmony like that of the other poets, nor dances in serenity like the glad sunbeams. He muses that he has but a very little gift of the God of song, and very much less literary attainment, and for this reason, he comes as a menial penitent before the court of Apollo, begging revengeful censure to have mercy and to spare his squeaking muse. He hopes his brogue meter will find a lowly pew in the heart of many regardless to criticism and imperfection.
