Classic and Contemporary Poetry

ON AN ANNIVERSARY by JOHN MILLINGTON SYNGE

First Line: WITH FIFTEEN-NINETY OR SIXTEEN-SIXTEEN
Last Line: FOR MY POOR PASSAGE TO THE STALL OF NIGHT?
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;
With Fifteen-ninety or Sixteen-sixteen
We end Cervantes, Marot, Nashe or Green:
Then Sixteen-thirteen will two score and nine,
Is Crashaw's niche, that honey-lipped divine.
They'll say I came in Eighteen-seventy-one,
And died in Dublin - What year will they write
For my poor passage to the stall of night?
