Sir, I admit your general rule,

    By Alexander Pope



"Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool.
But you yourself may serve to show it,
Every fool is not a poet."



Extra Info:
This Epigram has also been accredited to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and through my searches it has come up under a few other authors as well. I will endeavor to ascertain who wrote the original.
