THE PHOENIX ANALYSED, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now, after all, let no man
Last Line: But a bare type and figure.
Subject(s): Phoenix (mythical Bird)


Now, after all, let no man
Receive it for a fable,
If a bird so amiable,
Do turn into a woman.

Or (by our turtle's augur)
That Nature's fairest creature,
Prove of his mistress' feature,
But a bare type and figure.
