A FRESHET, by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM First Line: O hotspur torrent, crested high in air Last Line: A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | ||||||||
OHOTSPUR torrent, crested high in air, Why do you cut in twain a traveller's road? No lucent wave fit for the Nymphs you bear, Drunk with your drawings from a thunder-cloud; I'll see you shrivel yet -- the sun can tell A bastard from a lawful stream full well. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ONCE IN A WAY by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM THE OLD FERRYMAN by ANTIPHILUS OF BYZANTIUM ONE POET VISITS ANOTHER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES OLD SUSAN by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: THE FOUR WINDS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW A SATIRE [OR, SATYR] AGAINST MANKIND by JOHN WILMOT GREENES FUNERALLS: SONNET 6 by RICHARD BARNFIELD THE WHITE EAGLE by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
