Samuel Taylor Coleridge – The Complete Poems
On imitation
All are not born to soar – and ah how few
In tracks where Wisdom leads their paths pursue
Contagious when to wit or wealth allied,
Folly and Vice diffuse their venom wide.
On Folly every fool his talent tries
It asks some toil to imitate the wise.
