DESCRIBES THE PLACE WHERE CYNTHIA IS SPORTING HERSELF, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: Behold yon' hill, how it is swell'd with pride Last Line: And those are streams of tears which thence distil. Subject(s): Love | |||
BEHOLD yon' hill, how it is swell'd with pride, And that aspiring oak upon its side, With how much scorn they overlook the plain, Proud of the lovely guest they entertain. See with what haste those crystal springs do flow, T' incorporate with the silver brook below; There does my wanton Cynthia sporting stand, Printing her footsteps on the yielding sand. Look, Thyrsis, how she fills with joy the place, She bathes her feet, and views her angel's face; Sure I've a rival of that amorous hill, And those are streams of tears which thence distil. | 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 |
