FOR SIR W. TRUMBULL Tir'd with vain hopes, and with complaints as vain, Of anxious love's alternate joy and pain, Inconstant fortune's favour and her hate, And unperforming friendships of the great; Here both contented and resign'd, I lye; Here learn to live; nor wish, nor fear to die. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRIVILEGE OF BEING by ROBERT HASS SEAWATER STIFFENS CLOTH by JANE HIRSHFIELD SAYING YES TO LIVING by DAVID IGNATOW THE WORLD IS SO DIFFICULT TO GIVE UP by DAVID IGNATOW FRANCOIS MAYNARD TO THE CARDINAL DE RICHELIEU by FRANCOIS MAYNARD |
