POETASTER: SONG (3), by BEN JONSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Love is blind, and a wanton Last Line: Or she will undo him. | ||||||||
Love is blind, and a wanton; In the whole world, there is scant one Such another: No, not his mother. He hath plucked her doves, and sparrows, To feather his sharp arrows, And alone prevaileth, While sick Venus waileth. But if Cypris once recover The wag; it shall behove her To look better to him; Or she will undo him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CELEBRATION OF CHARIS: 4.
