There be two men of all mankind That I should like to know about; But search and question where I will, I cannot ever find them out. Melchizedek, he praised the Lord, And gave some wine to Abraham; But who can tell what else he did Must be more learned that I am. Ucalegon, he lost his house When Agamemnon came to Troy; But who can tell me who he was -- I'll pray the gods to give him joy. There be two men of all mankind That I'm forever thinking on: The chase me wherever I go, Melchizedek, Ucalegon. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIKE A BULRUSH by MARIANNE MOORE WERE I BUT HIS OWN WIFE by ELLEN MARY PATRICK DOWNING THE LAST BUCCANEER by CHARLES KINGSLEY THE SONG OF HIAWATHA: THE FOUR WINDS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW MILK FOR THE CAT by HAROLD MONRO |
