They always have great store of charity And love they want not, keeping amity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EGERTON MANUSCRIPT: 102 by THOMAS WYATT WHEN WILL LOVE COME? by PAKENHAM THOMAS BEATTY AT SUNSET TIME by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR ANSWER TO MASTER WITHER'S SONG, 'SHALL I, WASTING IN DESPAIR?' by BEN JONSON COMPOSED BY THE SEA-SIDE NEAR CALAIS [AUGUST 1802] by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH UNDER THE WHARF by IDA COLE BARTLATT |
