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 | ||||||||
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. | Discover our poem explanations - click here!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER SONG (IN THE LUCKY CHANCE) by APHRA BEHN WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN by DAVID LEHMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 7 by JAMES JOYCE A MEMORY OF THE PLAYERS IN A MIRROR AT MIDNIGHT by JAMES JOYCE |
