ON A YOUNG LADY WHO DIED UNMARRIED, by AARON HILL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Ripe in virtue, green in years Last Line: "and hides her blushes in his breast." Subject(s): Epitaphs | |||
"Ripe in virtue, green in years, Here a matchless maid lies low: None could read, and spare their tears, Did they but her sweetness know. Humbly wise and meekly good, No earthly lover's arms she blessed; But, full of grace, her Saviour wooed, And hides her blushes in His breast." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: RICHARD BONE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS AN EPITAPH, INTENDED FOR HIMSELF by JAMES BEATTIE EPITAPH: IN OBITUM M.S.
