LOYALTY, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: Kings, who would have good subjects, must Last Line: Can sing without his robe or glass. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Loyalty | ||||||||
Kings, who would have good subjects, must Be loyal subjects in themselves: We poets like women with their hair Who sing before a looking-glass, Can count our loyal subjects, there! You, who have found young Cupid's thumb So soft and white, from constant sucking Sit down and think how sweet it was: Until your poet, grown sincere, Can sing without his robe or glass. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELSINORE IN THE LATE ANCIENT AUTUMN by NORMAN DUBIE THE SHADOWS AT BOXFORD by NORMAN DUBIE FAREWELL TO ARMS by GEORGE PEELE TORRISMOND; AN UNFINISHED DRAMA by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES RHYME OF THE DUCHESS MAY by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A LIGHT WOMAN by ROBERT BROWNING A FAITHFUL DOG by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
