Oliver Goldsmith
10 November 1730 – 4 April 1774 / County Longford / Ireland
On A Beautiful Youth Struck Blind With Lightning
LIKE THIS POEM
('Imitated from the Spanish'.)
SURE 'twas by Providence design'd,
Rather in pity, than in hate,
That he should be, like Cupid, blind,
To save him from Narcissus' fate.
