ANACREONTIKE (2), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I must / not trust
Last Line: See erected.
Variant Title(s): Anacreontic


I must
Not trust
Here to any;
Bereav'd,
Deceiv'd
By so many:
As one
Undone
By my losses;
Comply
Will I
With my crosses.
Yet still
I will
Not be grieving;
Since thence
And hence
Comes relieving.
But this
Sweet is
In our mourning;
Times bad
And sad
Are a turning:
And he
Whom we
See dejected;
Next day
Wee may
See erected.
