Cyril Scott (27 September 1879 – 31 December 1970) was an English composer, writer, poet, and occultist.
Scott Free
Cyril Scott was admired by composers as diverse as Claude
Debussy, Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky and his lifelong friend -
Percy Grainger. -- cyrilscott.net
The chances are that you are not
An ardent fan of Cyril Scott,
But take some time to recollect
How many held him in respect.
It might be time to reassess…
And yet I doubt it, nonetheless.

Giovanni Carlo Maria Clari (27 September 1677 – 16 May 1754) was an Italian compose.
Steal Away
The works by which Clari distinguished himself pre-eminently are his vocal duets and trios. They appear to have been admired by Handel, since he did not hesitate to make appropriations from them. -- Wikipedia
Giovanni Carlo Maria Clari
Isn’t ranked among the starry;
You may have never heard a bar he
Wrote.
But Handel knew his music and
Used his themes, however bland,
In his own work, where still they stand.
Take note!
Is borrowed music “contraband”
When someone like George Frederick Hand-
El takes it from another brand?
Or should we use a term more bland?
Like “quote”.
