I HATE the vast array of "modern" things,Gilt and pale purple, yellow, pink, and white;Dull imitations and a thousand lightAnd weightless books of verse and copyings.There are so many! Every season bringsA thousand fashions new and with delightProclaims them beautiful; till I take flightAnd turn me to the masters and the kings.And yet they will not let the masters be;I find my Walton in a showy dress;Find all the bright, old-age simplicityBedecked and botched; the years of good Queen BessAre made the dull philistine's property;And Burns is "popularly" sent to press.
