ON HAYLEY'S PORTRAIT by WILLIAM COWPER

Poet Analysis

First Line: ACHILLES AND HECTOR AND HOMER AND ALL
Last Line: SHALL THEN HIDE ITS PICK-POCKET LOOKS IN THE DARK.

Achilles and Hector and Homer and all
When your face appears shall come down from the wall.
And mine, theme of many an angry remark,
Shall then hide its pick-pocket looks in the dark.
