[Immanuel Kant and the Copyright]

[One night as Kant lay somnulative]

[Appeared the categoric imperative]

[Who wrote a maxim in his scrawl]

[On Kant's unblemished bedroom wall.]

[And thereupon Kant set to relate]

[This maxim to the German state.]

[His end achieved, he saw his duties]

[In feasting from the royalties.]
