STRATEGY, by CHARLES KELLOGG FIELD First Line: Some, cupid kills with arrows Last Line: Poison-oak. Subject(s): Poisons & Poisoning | ||||||||
SOME, Cupid kills with arrows, Some, with traps; But this spring the little rascal Found, perhaps, That he needed both to slay me; So he laid a cunning snare On the hillside, and he hid it In a lot of maidenhair; And I doubt not he is laughing At the joke, For he made his arrows out of Poison-oak. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE DUN COW AND THE HAG by NORMAN DUBIE LOVE'S ARROW POISONED by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE LAST MAN: MEDITATION by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES REPRISALS by WILLIAM ROSE BENET SCOTTY'S WILD STUFF STEW by FRANCIS HUMPHRIS BROWN AN ELEGY ON SIR THOMAS OVERBURY; POISONED IN THE TOWER OF LONDON by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) DEARTH by VIRGINIA RICHARDS CASABONA A MEDIC GATHERS MUSHROOMS FOR HIS LADY by GRACE STONE COATES THE NETTLE-KING by MARY HOWITT A CALIFORNIA EASTER MASS by CHARLES KELLOGG FIELD |
