TO MR. R.W. [ROWLAND WOODWARD] (3), by JOHN DONNE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Zealously my muse doth salute all thee Last Line: For myne is barren thus devorc'd from thyne. | ||||||||
Zealously my Muse doth salute all thee, Enquiring of that mistique trinitee Whereof thou,'and all to whom heavens do infuse Like fyer, are made; thy body, mind, and Muse. Dost thou recover sicknes, or prevent? Or is thy Mind travail'd with discontent? Or art thou parted from the world and mee, In a good skorn of the worlds vanitee? Or is thy devout Muse retyr'd to sing Vpon her tender Elegiaque string? Our Minds part not, joyne then thy Muse with myne, For myne is barren thus devorc'd from thyne. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A HYMN TO CHRIST, AT THE AUTHOR'S LAST GOING INTO GERMANY by JOHN DONNE A HYMN TO GOD THE FATHER by JOHN DONNE A LECTURE UPON THE SHADOW by JOHN DONNE A NOCTURNAL UPON ST.
