TO BARON DE STONNE WITH AIKIN'S ESSAYS ON SONG-WRITING, by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: To gallia's gay and gallant coast Last Line: To sing their praise in numbers due. Alternate Author Name(s): Aikin, Anna Letitia Subject(s): Songs | ||||||||
To Gallia's gay and gallant coast Haste, little volume, speed thy flight; And proudly there go make thy boast How Britons love -- how Britons write. Say, Love can hold his torch as high Beneath our heaven deformed with showers, As in her pure and brilliant sky, By vine-clad hills or myrtle bowers: Ask if her damsels bloom more fair; Ask if her swains can love as true; And urge her poets' tuneful care To sing their praise in numbers due. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY ODE TO SPRING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD |
