THE TOUCH STONE, by SAMUEL BISHOP Poet's Biography First Line: A fool and knave with different views Last Line: If she's a knave, the fool. Subject(s): Courtship | |||
A FOOL and knave with different views For Julia's hand apply; The knave to mend his fortune sues, The fool to please his eye. Ask you how Julia will behave, Depend on't for a rule, If she's a fool she'll wed the knave -- If she's a knave, the fool. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AS YOU WALK OUT ONE MORNING by GLYN MAXWELL TALE OF THE MAYOR'S SON by GLYN MAXWELL THE RIVALS by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON MARJORIE'S WOOING by EMMA LAZARUS THE FORTUNATE SPILL by MARILYN NELSON REQUEST TO LEDA by DYLAN THOMAS TO HIS WIFE ON THE 16TH ANNIVERSARY OF HER WEDDING DAY, WITH A RING by SAMUEL BISHOP |
