TO JOHN DONNE (1), by BEN JONSON Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Who shall doubt, donne, where I a poet be Last Line: A man should seek great glory, and not broad. Subject(s): Donne, John (1572-1631); Poetry & Poets | ||||||||
Who shall doubt, Donne, where I a poet be, When I dare send my epigrams to thee? That so alone canst judge, so alone dost make: And, in thy censures, evenly, dost take As free simplicity, to disavow, As thou hast best authority, to allow. Read all I send: and, if I find but one Marked by thy hand, and with the better stone, My title's sealed. Those that for claps do write, Let puisnees', porters', players' praise delight, And, till they burst, their backs, like asses' load: A man should seek great glory, and not broad. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
