TO THE READER, by WILLIAM PUREFOY First Line: Reader, take heed, complain not of the sting Last Line: So 'gainst thee shall all scourging satires end. Subject(s): Whiting, Nathaniel (1615-1670) | |||
READER take heed, complain not of the sting, Lest others of thy galled sores do sing. No faulty person, party, here is meant, Only the vice o' th' age and place is shent. He that expounds it of himself doth show Some guilty fault or vice from him doth flow. If touch'd to th' quick, conceal and them amend, So 'gainst thee shall all scourging satires end. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN AUTHOREM, AMICISSIMUM SUUM by JOSEPH ROSSE TO HIS LOVING KINSMAN THE AUTHOR by JOHN WHITING MONODY ON THE DEATH OF WILLIAM MARION REEDY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: JACOB GODBEY by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SEASHORE (1) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON CASSANDRA by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON THE MITHERLESS BAIRN by WILLIAM THOM DEAD IN HIS BED by ADDIE LUCIA BALLOU |
