TO ELIZA, by GEORGE CRABBE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The hebrew king, with spleen possest Last Line: And not a care return'd again. | ||||||||
THE Hebrew king, with spleen possest, By David's harp was soothed to rest: Yet, when the magic song was o'er, The soft delusion charm'd no more: The former fury fired the brain, And every care return'd again. But, had he known Eliza's skill To bless the sense and bind the will, To bid the gloom of care retire, And fan the flame of fond desire, Remembrance then had kept the strain, And not a care return'd again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A HUMBLE INVOCATION by GEORGE CRABBE A MARRIAGE RING by GEORGE CRABBE A WEARY TRAVELLER by GEORGE CRABBE AN EPISTLE TO A FRIEND by GEORGE CRABBE BELVOIR CASTLE; WRITTEN AT THE REQUEST OF DUCHESS OF RUTLAND by GEORGE CRABBE CONCLUDING LINES OF PRIZE POEM ON HOPE by GEORGE CRABBE EPISTLE TO PRINCE WILLIAM HENRY by GEORGE CRABBE |
