CHAMBER MUSIC: 27, by JAMES JOYCE Poet's Biography
First Line: Though I thy mithridates were
Last Line: Ever so little falsity.
Subject(s): Love - Nature Of
First Line: Though I thy mithridates were
Last Line: Ever so little falsity.
Subject(s): Love - Nature Of
Though I thy Mithridates were,
Framed to defy the poison-dart,
Yet must thou fold me unaware
To know the rapture of thy heart,
And I but render and confess
The malice of thy tenderness.
For elegant and antique phrase,
Dearest, my lips wax all too wise;
Nor have I known a love whose praise
Our piping poets solemnize,
Neither a love where may not be
Ever so little falsity.
