Autograph quotation signed "Wm Wordsworth" quoting a poem by Lord Brooke, beginning "The chief use, then in Man of that he knows / I his pains-taking for the good of all; / Not fleshy weeping for our own made woes, / Not lauging from a melancholy gall."
1 page, single sheet (approximately 10 x 8 inches; 240x200 mm). Nicely framed with an engraved portrait. The poem continues: “Not hating from a soul that overflows / In bitterness breathed forth from inward thrall; / But sweetly rather to ease, loose and bind, / As need requires, this frail, fallen human kind.
