WITH FIELDING'S AMELIA, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Virtues and woes alike too great for man Last Line: In all but sorrows shall amelias be! | |||
Virtues and Woes alike too great for man In the soft tale oft claim the useless sigh; For vain the attempt to realize the plan, On folly's wings must imitation fly. With other aim has Fielding here display'd Each social duty and each social care; With just yet vivid colouring portray'd What every wife should be, what many are. And sure the Parent of a race so sweet With double pleasure on the page shall dwell, Each scene with sympathizing breast shall meet, While Reason still with smiles delights to tell Maternal hope, that her lov'd Progeny In all but Sorrows shall Amelias be! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A DAY DREAM by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE A THOUGHT SUGGESTED BY A VIEW, OF SADDLEBACK IN CUMBERLAND by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AN INVOCATION; SONG, FR.
