MORTAL JEALOUSY, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: Begone, o thou distracting care Last Line: Tis death thou bring'st, not jealousy. Subject(s): Jealousy | ||||||||
BEGONE, O thou distracting Care, Partner of Sorrow, and Despair! Thy poison spreads to ev'ry part Of this my poor tormented heart. If it be false, with which of late Thou hast disturb'd my quiet state, Why, to affright me, would'st thou bring So well compos'd a monstrous thing? But if with Truth thou would'st delight, To clear my long deluded sight, Under that veil does falsehood lie, 'Tis Death thou bring'st, not Jealousy. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DOG AFTER LOVE by YEHUDA AMICHAI TOGETHER IN GREECE by LINDA GREGG THE JEALOUS LOVERS by DONALD HALL WOMEN THEY COULD KILL FOR by PETER JOHNSON GENEVIEVE AND ALEXANDRA (2) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON SONNET (6) by GEORGE SANTAYANA ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES |
