THE DREAM, by BEN JONSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Or scorn, or pity on me take Last Line: As since he dares not come within my sight. Subject(s): Sleep | ||||||||
Or scorn or pity on me take, I must the true relation make, I am undone tonight; Love, in a subtle dream disguised, Hath both my heart and me surprised, Whom never yet he durst attempt awake; Nor will he tell me for whose sake He did me the delight, Or spite, But leaves me to enquire In all my wild desire, Of sleep again, who was his aid; And sleep so guilty and afraid As since he dares not come within my sight. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...YOU'S SWEET TO YO' MAMMY JES DE SAME by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 3 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 22 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 34 by JAMES JOYCE GOING TO SLEEP by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN THE BLUE NAP by WILLIAM MATTHEWS A CELEBRATION OF CHARIS: 1.
