"PUZZLE VERSE" BY DR. WEIR MITCHELL
"A simple go-between am I, Without a thought of pride; I part the gathered thoughts of men, And liberally divide. I set the soul of Shakespeare free, To Milton's thoughts give liberty, Bid Sidney speak with freer speech, Let Spenser sing and Taylor preach, Though through all learning Swift I glide No wisdom doth with me abide." Answer: A paper-cutter.
