PIOUS SELINDA [OR, CELINDA], by WILLIAM CONGREVE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Pious celinda goes to prayers Last Line: Or I of her a sinner. Variant Title(s): Song | |||
PIOUS Selinda goes to prayers, If I but ask her favour; And yet the silly fool's in tears, If she believes I'll leave her. Would I were free from this restraint, Or else had hopes to win her: Would she could make of me a saint, Or I of her a sinner. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SABINA WAKES by WILLIAM CONGREVE SONG, FR.
