OBSERVATIONS IN THE ART OF ENGLISH POESY: 18. ELEGIAC VERSE: THE FIRST EPIGRAM, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Arthur brooks only those that brook not him Last Line: But finds none that holds twenty due for him. | ||||||||
Arthur brooks only those that brook not him. Those he most regards, and devoutly serves: But them that grace him his great brav'ry scorns Counting kindness all duty, not desert: Arthur wants forty pounds, tries ev'ry friend, But finds none that holds twenty due for him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 10.
