Breake now my heart and dye! Oh no, she may relent. Let my despaire prevayle! Oh stay, hope is not spent. Should she now fixe one smile on thee, where were despaire? The losse is but easie which smiles can repayre. A stranger would please thee, if she were as fayre. Her must I love or none, so sweet none breathes as shee; The more is my despayre, alas, shee loves not mee: But cannot time make way for love through ribs of steele? The Grecian, inchanted all parts but the heele, At last a shaft daunted, which his hart did feele. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROSE AND MURRAY by CONRAD AIKEN THOUGH WE NO LONGER POSSESS IT by MARK JARMAN THE GLORY OF THE DAY WAS IN HER FACE by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON LOVE COME AND GONE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 33 by JAMES JOYCE A SCOTCH SONG by JOANNA BAILLIE A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
