UPON CUPID (2), by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Love, like a gypsie, lately came Last Line: Though here the princely poet. Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
Love, like a Gypsie, lately came; And did me much importune To see my hand; that by the same He might fore-tell my Fortune. He saw my Palme; and then, said he, I tell thee, by this score here; That thou, within few months, shalt be The youthfull Prince D'Amour here. I smil'd; and bade him once more prove, And by some crosse-line show it; That I co'd ne'r be Prince of Love, Though here the Princely Poet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK |
