TO THE MOST LEARNED, WISE AND ARCH-ANTIQUARY, M. JOHN SELDEN, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I who have favour'd many, come to be Last Line: Live thou a selden, that's a demi-god. Subject(s): Selden, John (1584-1654) | ||||||||
I who have favour'd many, come to be Grac't (now at last) or glorifi'd by thee. Loe, I, the Lyrick Prophet, who have set On many a head the Delphick Coronet, Come unto thee for Laurell, having spent, My wreaths on those, who little gave or lent. Give me the Daphne, that the world may know it, Whom they neglected, thou hast crown'd a Poet. A City here of Heroes I have made, Upon the rock, whose firm foundation laid, Shall never shrink, where making thine abode, Live thou a Selden, that's a Demi-god. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK A THANKSGIVING TO GOD [FOR HIS HOUSE] by ROBERT HERRICK ANOTHER GRACE FOR A CHILD by ROBERT HERRICK ART ABOVE NATURE: TO JULIA by ROBERT HERRICK CEREMONIES FOR CANDLEMASSE EVE by ROBERT HERRICK |
