TO DELIA: 48, by SAMUEL DANIEL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: None other fame mine unambitious muse Last Line: I'll sound her name the river all along. Subject(s): Love; Thames (river) | |||
None other fame mine unambitious muse Affected ever but t' eternize thee; All other honors do my hopes refuse, Which meaner prized and momentary be. For God forbid I should my papers blot With mercenary lines, with servile pen, Praising virtues in them that have them not, Basely attending on the hopes of men. No, no, my verse respects nor Thames nor theatres, Nor seeks it to be known unto the great; But Avon, rich in fame, though poor in waters, Shall have my song, where Delia hath her seat. Avon shall be my Thames, and she my song; I'll sound her name the river all along. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOVER TO THE THAMES OF LONDON TO FAVOUR HIS LADY ... by GEORGE TURBERVILLE IMPRESSION DU MATIN by OSCAR WILDE SYMPHONY IN YELLOW by OSCAR WILDE A DESCRIPTION OF LONDON by JOHN BANCKS THE METAMORPHOSIS OF THE WALNUT-TREE OF BOARSTELL: CANTO 2 by WILLIAM BASSE BAB-LOCK-HYTHE by LAURENCE BINYON THE IDLER'S CALENDAR: AUGUST.
