THE UNVANQUISHED by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: MY HEART'S COMPANION, LET
Last Line: AND WITH MUCH LAUGHTER THROUGH THE GALES WE GO.
MY heart's companion, let
Us two forget,
And so make vain, all rude
Vicissitude,
And Time's betrayals, and countermine them yet!

Ah, Fortune's ebb we know,
More than her flow;
But not soon conquered, we
Hazard her sea,
And with much laughter through the gales we go.
