I would second that, given that the RDF looks like: 

<rdf:Description rdf:ID="etext13218">
  <dc:publisher>&pg;</dc:publisher>
  <dc:title rdf:parseType="Literal">Don Orsino</dc:title>
  <dc:creator>Crawford, F. Marion (Francis Marion) (1854-1909)</dc:cre
+ator>
  <dc:language>en</dc:language>
  <dc:created>2004-08-19</dc:created>
  <dc:rights rdf:resource="&lic;" />
</rdf:Description>

Then all you need is something trivial like this to create a file ready for a MySQL 'load data local infile .....'

#!/usr/bin/perl
local $/ = "\n\n";
open RDF, $ARGV[0] or die $!;
while(<RDF>){
    next unless m/<rdf:Description rdf:ID="etext(\d+)"/;
    my $id = $1;
    next unless m/<dc:title[^>]+>([^<\n]+)</;
    my $title = $1;
    next unless m/<dc:creator>([^<\n]+)</;
    my $author = $1;
    $title =~ s/\s+/ /g;
    $author =~ s/\s+/ /g;
    print "$id\t$title\t$author\n";
}
