COMMENDATORY VERSES TO WILLIAM BROWNE'S 'BRITANNIA'S PASTORALS', by WILLIAM BASSE Poet's Biography First Line: Were there a thought so strange as to deny Last Line: Thy youth (herein) thine elders ouer-take. Subject(s): Browne, William (1591-1645); Poetry & Poets | |||
WERE there a thought so strange as to deny That happy Bayes doe some mens Births adorne, Thy work alone might serue to iustifie That Poets are not made so, but so borne. How could thy plumes thus soone haue soard thus hie Hadst thou not Lawrell in thy Cradle worne? Thy Birth o'er-took thy Youth: and it doth make Thy youth (herein) thine elders ouer-take. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
