AMORETTI: 74, by EDMUND SPENSER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Most happy letters! Framed by skillful trade Last Line: That three such graces did unto me give. Alternate Author Name(s): Clout, Colin Subject(s): Women | ||||||||
Most happy letters! fram'd by skilfull trade, With which that happy name was first desynd, The which three times thrise happy hath me made, With guifts of body, fortune, and of mind. The first my being to me gave by kind, From mothers womb deriv'd by dew descent: The second is my sovereigne Queene most kind, That honour and large richesse to me lent: The third, my love, my lives last ornament, By whom my spirit out of dust was raysed, To speake her prayse and glory excellent, Of all alive most worthy to be praysed. Ye three Elizabeths, for ever live, That three such graces did unto me give. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV |
