Excerpt from Common Sense: A Poem

Poets, in the present age, frequently employ a preface to prove that there is method in their madness. The Preface contains the theory, and the Poem the illustration of their ars Poetica, Now, in this point of view, a preface is in the present case unnecessary; for I have no theory to promulgate or defend: I conceive that the discovery of a new source of pleasure is more hopeless than the discovery of a North-West Passage; and I shall look upon success as desperate, when I find it necessary to prove that the reader ought to be pleased.
