CUPID'S NEST, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: Ah! Tell me, love, thy nesting place Last Line: First to my face, and then to cynthia's breast. Subject(s): Love | |||
AH! Tell me, Love, thy nesting place, Is't in my heart, or Cynthia's face? For when I see her graces shine, There art thou perch'd with pow'r divine: Yet straight I feel thy pointed dart, And find thee flutt'ring in my heart; Then since amongst us thou wilt show, The many tricks thou, Love, canst do, Prithee for sport remove thy nest, First to my face, and then to Cynthia's breast. | 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 |
