520			_a"Poeta de Tristibus; Or, The Poet's Complaint" by Anonymous is a satirical poem written during the late 17th century, specifically in the era of the Restoration in England. The work critiques the struggles of poets, highlighting themes of poverty, artistic frustration, and the disparity between wit and wealth. The poem employs Hudibrastic meter and mixes humor with poignant observations about the life of a poet, making it an exploration of the literary profession's challenges during this period. The narrative unfolds over four cantos, where the speaker, a poet driven into exile by his financial woes, reflects on the plight of his profession. He complains about the lack of respect and support poets receive compared to other trades, lamenting that while merchants thrive, the poet's struggle to gain recognition often leads to abject poverty. Various characters are introduced within the poem, including brokers, lawyers, and fellow poets, painting a vivid picture of the competitive and often disparaging environment that poets must navigate. In a despairing but humorous tone, the poet also contemplates renouncing his craft altogether, revealing a deep-seated disillusionment with both the art of poetry and the society that undervalues its contributions.
