SONG, by THOMAS D'URFEY First Line: I'll sail upon the dog star Last Line: Let all the nation judge it. | ||||||||
I'le sail upon the Dog-Star, and then persue the Morning; I'le chase the Moon 'till it be Noon, but I'le make her leave her Horning. I'le climb the frosty Mountain, and there I'le coyn the Weather; I'le tear the Rain-bow from the Sky, and tye both ends together. The Stars pluck from their Orbs too, and crowd them in my Budget; and whether I'm a roaring Boy, let all the Nation judge it. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INEBRIATE by RICHARD HARRIS BARHAM GOD by GABRIEL ROMANOVITCH DERZHAVIN IN THE GARDEN (1) by EMILY DICKINSON WORD-PORTRAITS: THE DESCRIPTION OF SIR GEOFFREY CHAUCER by ROBERT GREENE TO THE NIGHTINGALE by JOHN MILTON THE BALLAD OF MY FRIEND by J.
