THE SONG OF DISCORD, by THOMAS RANDOLPH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Let linus' and amphion's lute Last Line: The following trees had run away! | ||||||||
LET Linus' and Amphion's lute With Orpheus' cittern now be mute. The harshest voice the sweetest note: The raven has the choicest throat, A set of frogs a quire for me, The mandrake shall the chaunter be, Where neither voice nor tunes agree; This is discord's harmony. Thus had Orpheus learn'd to play, The following trees had run away! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE TO MASTER ANTHONY STAFFORD [TO HASTEN HIM INTO COUNTRY] by THOMAS RANDOLPH UPON HIS PICTURE by THOMAS RANDOLPH A CHARACTER by THOMAS RANDOLPH A COMPLAINT AGAINST CUPID, THAT HE NEVER MADE HIM IN LOVE by THOMAS RANDOLPH A DIALOGUE BETWIXT A NYMPH AND A SHEPHERD by THOMAS RANDOLPH A MASK FOR LYDIA by THOMAS RANDOLPH A PARENETICON TO THE TRULY NOBLE GENTLEMAN MASTER ENDYMION PORTER by THOMAS RANDOLPH A PARLEY WITH HIS EMPTY PURSE by THOMAS RANDOLPH A PASTORAL COURTSHIP by THOMAS RANDOLPH |
