AMORETTI: 6, by EDMUND SPENSER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Be nought dismayed that her unmoved mind Last Line: To knit the knot that ever shall remaine. Alternate Author Name(s): Clout, Colin Subject(s): Patience; Oak Trees | ||||||||
Be nought dismayd that her unmoved mind Doth still persist in her rebellious pride: Such love, not lyke to lusts of baser kynd, The harder wonne, the firmer will abide. The durefull oake, whose sap is not yet dride, Is long ere it conceive the kindling fyre: But when it once doth burne, it doth divide Great heat, and makes his flames to heaven aspire. So hard it is to kindle new desire In gentle brest, that shall endure for ever: Deepe is the wound that dints the parts entire With chast affects, that naught but death can sever. Then thinke not long in taking litle paine To knit the knot that ever shall remaine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRUNKEN WINTER by JOSEPH CERAVOLO THE BRAVE OLD OAK by HENRY FOTHERGILL CHORLEY THE HAUNTED OAK by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR THE SOWER AND HIS SEED by WILLIAM EDWARD HARTPOLE LECKY ELIOT'S OAK; SONNET by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
