Well played, jmc! I was bluffing! The poor translations of idiom were Robert Fitzgerald's, not Jowett's!

See, I knew that, but didn't want to say. "Jowey,"as his friends at Balliol used to call him, would never have a made that sort of error. ;)

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A city most musically blest

a song to hold into thy breast.

Where Gibson long ago had fled,

and Heritage must resolve ahead.

Infamous for creations divine

the finest made, shall surely be thine

And only God can make a tree

only Heritage can craft the guitar for me.

 

;)

 

nice adaptation . . .with apology to Joyce Kilmer

Right on Fred. Nice touch.
