CAUGHT IN THE UNDERTOW by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: COLIN, WORSHIPPING SOME FRAIL
Last Line: QUITE IMPLICITLY BELIEVES HIM.
Subject(s): GRIEF; PRAISE; SORROW; SADNESS;
COLIN, worshipping some frail,
By self-deprecation sways her:
Calls himself unworthy male,
Hardly even fit to praise her.

But this tactic insincere
In the upshot greatly grieves him
When he finds the lovely dear
Quite implicitly believes him.
