I believe that any English poet of to-day would be thankful for the concision that a Chinese poetaster attains without effort.

Any poetaster can describe a thunderstorm; it requires a poet to describe the ancient and quiet sky.

After commencing his education in a shop or counting-house, the poetaster sets up as a manufacturer of verse.

Cynthia's Revels was a satire on the courtiers and the Poetaster on Jonson's literary enemies.

Among the accusers were a young poetaster, Melitos, the tanner Anytos, and the orator Lykon.
