TRUCE IN LOVE ENTREATED, by THOMAS CAREW Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: No more, blind god! For see, my heart Last Line: Wound her, for 'tis for her I die. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
No more, blind god! for see, my heart Is made thy quiver, where remains No void place for another dart; And, alas! that conquest gains Small praise, that only brings away A tame and unresisting prey. Behold a nobler foe, all arm'd, Defies thy weak artillery, That hath thy bow and quiver charm'd, A rebel beauty, conquering thee: If thou dar'st equal combat try, Wound her, for 'tis for her I die. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A DEPOSITION FROM LOVE by THOMAS CAREW A PASTORAL DIALOGUE: SHEPHERD, NYMPH, CHORUS by THOMAS CAREW |
