DE LUPO; EPIGRAM, by CHARLES COTTON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: When lupus has wrought hard all day
Last Line: Would'st thou once call me to my rest.
First Line: When lupus has wrought hard all day
Last Line: Would'st thou once call me to my rest.
WHEN Lupus has wrought hard all day,
And the declining Sun,
By stooping to embrace the sea,
Tells him the Day's nigh done;
Then to his young wife home he hies
With his sore labour sped,
Who bids him welcome home, and cries,
Pray, Husband, come to bed.
Thanks, Wife, quoth he, but I were blest,
Would'st thou once call me to my rest.
