Christopher Smart (April 11, 1722 - May 21, 1771) was an English poet. His works include A Song to David and Jubilate Agno , both of which were at least partly written during his confinement in an insane asylum.
And now the matchless deeds achieved, Determined, Dared, and Done.
Thus when a barber and a collier fight, The barber beats the luckless collierwhite; The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack, And big with vengeance beats the barberblack. In comes the brick-dust man, with grime o'erspread, And beats the collier and the barberred: Black, red, and white in various clouds are tost, And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost.
