    Elizabeth, it surely is most fit That thy name be writ first in thy own book, despite logic or common usage. The poet has reasons for doing so besides a love of contradiction, as each poet should write what is uppermost in their heart, having studied little and being ignorant of this important rule, regardless of what the Greeks may have called it.

    Elizabeth - Poem by Edgar Allan Poe

    Elizabeth, it surely is most fit


    [Logic and common usage so commanding]
    In thy own book that first thy name be writ,
    Zeno and other sages notwithstanding;
    And I have other reasons for so doing
    Besides my innate love of contradiction;
    Each poet - if a poet - in pursuing
    The muses thro' their bowers of Truth or Fiction,
    Has studied very little of his part,
    Read nothing, written less - in short's a fool
    Endued with neither soul, nor sense, nor art,
    Being ignorant of one important rule,
    Employed in even the theses of the schoolCalled - I forget the heathenish Greek name
    [Called anything, its meaning is the same]
    "Always write first things uppermost in the heart."
