UPON SAPPHO SWEETLY PLAYING AND SWEETLY SINGING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When thou dost play and sweetly sing
Last Line: And dye away upon thy lute.
Subject(s): Lutes


When thou do'st play, and sweetly sing,
Whether it be the voice or string,
Or both of them, that do agree
Thus to en-trance and ravish me:
This, this I know, I'm oft struck mute;
And dye away upon thy Lute.
