Of Carthage he, that worthy warrior, Could overcome but could not use his chance. And I likewise, of all my long endeavour, The sharp conquest though fortune did advance, Could not it use.

At Monzon thus I restless rest in Spain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTHENOPHIL AND PARTHENOPHE: MADRIGAL 14 by BARNABE BARNES SONNETS IN SHADOWS: 1 by ARLO BATES IN PRAISE OF PAIN by HEATHER MCHUGH THE SYMPATIZERS by JOSEPHINE MILES |
