SIR EGLAMOUR'S FAREWELL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Because you bid me go, and set aside
Last Line: Enough! I know my north.
Subject(s): Farewell; Parting


BECAUSE you bid me go, and set aside
All that our love had been,
The praise, the dedication of a bride,
The kingdom of a queen --

I go, too proud to question. But I'll wear
No favour riding forth --
All words of poor compassioning forbear --
Enough! I know my north.
