Never Did He Call Himself A Scholar

Never did he call himself a scholar, A pundit he was in reality, A scholar par excellence, Well-known for his erudition, Scholarship and pedantry, Medieval scholasticism and classicism, Not like the modern pseudo-scholars Coming up with their c.v. and bio-data. A scholar so famed for his scholasticism, He passed away quite unknown Before the wide world could know him, A scholar classical, pastoral and shepherd-like, In a thatched mud house of a village Lived he, died he unknown And unseen, hidden from the purview of the wide world.
