TO CLOE, by HILDEBRAND JACOB First Line: Cloe, blooming sweet as may, / we must tempt mama away Last Line: Trust me, cloe, this will do. Subject(s): Jealousy; Love Affairs; Mothers; Temperance; Prohibition | ||||||||
CLOE, blooming sweet as May, We must tempt Mama away; Still the jealous dame destroys All our schemes of future joys: All the projects we have tried Vainly yet have been applied. At my bait she now must bite, If I guess her temper right: She shall have her lower too. Trust me, Cloe, this will do. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE FOR A SOCIAL MEETING, WITH SLIGHT ALTERATIONS BY A TEETOTALER by OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES TEMPER by CLARA EXLINE BOCKOVEN A TRUCKER DRIVES THROUGH HIS LOST YOUTH by DAVID BOTTOMS THE FIGHTING WORD by BERTON BRALEY THE METHOD OF THE MAD MULLAH by BERTON BRALEY ON A PROHIBITIONIST POEM by GILBERT KEITH CHESTERTON A MAIDEN'S DREAM by ROBERT GREENE OUR PROGRAM by ARTHUR GUITERMAN |
