THE RIVER MEADOWS (IN FLOOD): 60 by ANDREW MARVELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: LET OTHERS TELL THE PARADOX
Last Line: AND PIKES ARE TAKEN IN THE POUND.
Subject(s): FLOODS; RIVERS;
Let others tell the @3Paradox@1,
How Eels now bellow in the Ox;
How Horses at their Tails to kick,
Turn'd as they hang to Leeches quick;
How Boats can over Bridges sail;
And Fishes do the Stables scale.
How @3Salmons@1 trespassing are found;
And Pikes are taken in the Pound.
