1 FAIREST Isle, all Isles Excelling, Seat of Pleasures, and of Loves; Venus here will chuse her Dwelling, And forsake her @3Cyprian@1 Groves. 2 Cupid, from his Fav'rite Nation, Care and Envy will Remove; Jealousy that poysons Passion, And Despair that dies for Love. 3 Gentle Murmurs, sweet Complaining, Sighs that blow the Fire of Love; soft Repulses, kind Disdaining, Shall be all the Pains you prove. 4 Ev'ry Swain shall pay his Duty, Grateful ev'ry Nymph shall prove; And as these Excel in Beauty, Those shall be Renown'd for Love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BOB CRUIKSHANKS by ALEXANDER ANDERSON TEMPORALL SUCCESS by JOSEPH BEAUMONT IN VINCULIS; SONNETS WRITTEN IN AN IRISH PRISON: CONDEMNED by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT SONG OF THE SUPERMAN by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE IN A GRAVE-YARD by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE SEA-LOVE (PUGET SOUND INDIAN) by ANNICE CALLAND |
