INVITES POETS AND HISTORIANS TO WRITE IN CYNTHIA'S PRAISE, by PHILIP AYRES Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: Come all ye wits, that with immortal rhymes Last Line: Thus shall you live by her, and she by you. Subject(s): Beauty | |||
COME all ye Wits, that with immortal rhymes, Glory to others, and yourselves, create: And you that gratify the future times, Whilst tales of Love, and battles ye relate; Come, turn your studies, and your eyes this way, This theme will crown your heads with lasting bays, 'Tis Cynthia's beauty, Heavenly Cynthia; Come swell your volumes all with Cynthia's praise. Posterity will then your works admire, And for her sake shall them as jewels prize, All things to Cynthia's glory must conspire, She shall be worshipp'd with the deities. To her make foreign lands pay honours due, Thus shall you live by her, and she by you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN DIVINELY SUPERFLUOUS BEAUTY by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE BEAUTY OF THINGS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS LIFE FROM THE LIFELESS by ROBINSON JEFFERS REARMAMENT by ROBINSON JEFFERS SHANE ONEILLS CAIRN by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON A FAIR BEGGAR by PHILIP AYRES |
