HIS LOVE ADMITS NO RIVAL, by WALTER RALEIGH Poet's Biography First Line: Shall I, like a hermit, dwell Last Line: What care I how rich it be? Alternate Author Name(s): Ralegh, Walter | ||||||||
SHALL I, like a hermit, dwell On a rock, or in a cell, Calling home the smallest part That is missing of my heart, To bestow it where I may Meet a rival every day? If she undervalue me, What care I how fair she be? Were her tresses angel gold, If a stranger may be bold, Unrebuked, unafraid, To convert them to a braid, And with little more ado Work them into bracelets too; If the mine be grown so free, What care I how rich it be? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A VISION UPON [THIS CONCEIT] OF THE FAERIE QUEENE (2) by WALTER RALEIGH LOVE AND TIME by WALTER RALEIGH ON THE LIFE OF MAN by WALTER RALEIGH THE AUTHOR'S EPITAPH, MADE BY HIMSELF by WALTER RALEIGH THE NYMPH'S REPLY TO THE SHEPHERD by WALTER RALEIGH THE PASSIONATE MAN'S PILGRIMAGE by WALTER RALEIGH A POEM ENTREATING OF SORROW by WALTER RALEIGH |
