FOURTH BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 1. A LITTLE BREATH I'LL BORROW, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Leave prolonging thy distress! Last Line: I die alone through her despite. Subject(s): Physicians; Doctors | ||||||||
LEAVE prolonging thy distress! All delays afflict the dying. Many lost sighs long I spent, to her for mercy crying; But now, vain mourning, cease! I'll die, and mine own griefs release. Thus departing from this light To those shades that end in sorrow, Yet a small time of complaint a little breath I'll borrow, To tell my once delight I die alone through her despite. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DOCTOR WHO SITS AT THE BEDSIDE OF A RAT by JOSEPHINE MILES EL CURANDERO (THE HEALER) by RAFAEL CAMPO HER FINAL SHOW by RAFAEL CAMPO SONG FOR MY LOVER: 13.
