TO DELIA: 2, by SAMUEL DANIEL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Go wailing verse, the infants of my love Last Line: And tell th' unkind how dearly I have loved her. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
Go, wailing verse, the infants of my love, Minerva-like brought forth without a mother; Present the image of the cares I prove, Witness your father's grief exceeds all other. Sigh out a story of her cruel deeds With interrupted accents of despair, A monument that whosoever reads May justly praise and blame my loveless fair. Say her disdain hath dried up my blood, And starved you, in succors still denying; Press to her eyes, importune me some good; Waken her sleeping pity with your crying. Knock at that hard heart, beg till you have moved her; And tell th' unkind how dearly I have loved her. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD |
