EPITAPH ON MRS. M. HIGGINS, OF WESTON, by WILLIAM COWPER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Laurels may flourish round the conqueror's tomb Last Line: And all those triumphs, mary, now are thine. | ||||||||
LAURELS may flourish round the conqueror's tomb, But happiest they who win the world to come: Believers have a silent field to fight, And their exploits are veiled from human sight. They in some nook, where little known they dwell, Kneel, pray in faith, and rout the hosts of hell; Eternal triumphs crown their toils divine, And all those triumphs, Mary, now are thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A COMPARISON [ADDRESSED] TO A YOUNG LADY by WILLIAM COWPER BOADICEA; AN ODE by WILLIAM COWPER EPITAPH ON A HARE by WILLIAM COWPER OLNEY HYMNS: 1.
