THE DART by THOMAS CAREW

Poet Analysis

First Line: OFT WHEN I LOOK I MAY DESCRY
Last Line: MAY SERVE FOR DARTS TO KILL WITHAL.

OFT when I look I may descry
A little face peep through that eye;
Sure, that 's the boy, which wisely chose
His throne among such beams as those,
Which, if his quiver chance to fall,
May serve for darts to kill withal.
