TO PHILOTINUS, by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON First Line: Philotinus! If you'd approve / yourself a faithful lover Last Line: Nor own, a salic law. | ||||||||
Philotinus! if you'd approve Yourself a faithful lover, -- You must no more my anger move, But in the mildest terms of love Your passion still discover. Though born to rule, you must submit To my command with awe; Nor think your sex can you acquit, For Cupid's empire won't admit Nor own, a Salic Law. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTENTED MIND by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON ON BEAU NASH'S PICTURE AT BATH by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON TO DAMON by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON THE WORD OF AN ENGINEER by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: AMOS SIBLEY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS GENEVIEVE AND ALEXANDRA (2) by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON BUCOLIC COMEDY: EARLY SPRING by EDITH SITWELL ON THE TOMBS IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY by FRANCIS BEAUMONT FOREFATHERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
