OBSERVATIONS IN THE ART OF ENGLISH POESY: 18. ELEGIAC VERSE: THE FIRST EPIGRAM by THOMAS CAMPION

Poet Analysis

First Line: ARTHUR BROOKS ONLY THOSE THAT BROOK NOT HIM
Last Line: BUT FINDS NONE THAT HOLDS TWENTY DUE FOR HIM.
Subject(s):

@3Arthur brooks only those that brook not him.
Those he most regards, and devoutly serves:
But them that grace him his great brav'ry scorns
Counting kindness all duty, not desert:
Arthur wants forty pounds, tries ev'ry friend,
But finds none that holds twenty due for him.@1
