THE POET'S TITLES, by PIERRE DE RONSARD Poet's Biography First Line: Holy euterpe teaches me to hate Last Line: And athens' fame. Subject(s): Athens, Greece; Music & Musicians; Poetry & Poets; Rome, Italy | ||||||||
HOLY EUTERPE teaches me to hate The common crowd; Her sacred laurel-branch marks my estate, And makes me proud. She deigns to tune her fluting pipes for me Within her wood, And brings them me whene'er my heart may be In singing mood. From her own spring she chrismed me, with her lip She named my name, And made me share old Rome's high mastership And Athens' fame. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THOSE GRAVES IN ROME by LARRY LEVIS ROMAN ELEGIES by JOSEPH BRODSKY ROMAN DIARY: 1951 by JOHN CIARDI VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 7.
