The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope

Verse Quote

‘What dire Offence from am’rous Causes springs,

What mighty Contests rise from trivial Things,

I sing — This Verse to Caryll, Muse! is due;

This, ev’n Belinda may vouchsafe to view:

Slight is the Subject, but not so the Praise,

If She inspire, and He approves my Lays.’

(Canto 1: 1-5, The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope)
