FORBEAR (fair Phyllis) Oh forbear Those deadly killing frowns, and spare A heart so loving and so true, By none to be subdu'd, but you, Who my poor life's sole Princess are. You only can create my care; But offend you I all things dare; Then lest your cruelty you rue Forbear; And lest you kill that heart, beware, To which there is some pity due, If but because I humbly sue. Your anger therefore, sweetest Fair, Though mercy in your sex is rare, Forbear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NAPOLEON AND THE BRITISH [OR ENGLISH] SAILOR [BOY] by THOMAS CAMPBELL ODE ON THE SPRING by THOMAS GRAY EASTER DAY [IN ROME] by OSCAR WILDE TAKING IT FROM THE BOY by CHARLES WILLIAM BRODRIBB PERSHING AT THE TOMB OF LAFAYETTE by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR THE WORLD PLAY by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON |
