A SONG: REVENGE AGAINST CYNTHIA, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: See, cupid, we have found our lovely foe Last Line: Revenge thyself, and me, upon her heart. Subject(s): Love - Complaints | ||||||||
SEE, Cupid, we have found our lovely foe, Who slights thy pow'r, and does my flame despise, Now thou art arm'd with all thy shafts and bow, And she at mercy 'twixt two enemies. Asleep she's laid upon this bed of flowers, Her charms the sole defence to save her breast; Thoughtless of injur'd me, or of thy powers; Oh, that a guilty soul can take such rest! Now may'st thou eas'ly with a single dart Revenge thyself, and me, upon her heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TALKING RICHARD WILSON BLUES, BY RICHARD CLAY WILSON by DENIS JOHNSON THE BRIDGE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THROUGH AGONY: 1 by CLAUDE MCKAY HEMATITE HEIRLOOM LIVES ON (MAYBE DECEMBER 1980) by ALICE NOTLEY QUICK AND BITTER by YEHUDA AMICHAI ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES |
