TO ONE OVERHEARING HIS PRIVATE DISCOURSE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I wonder not my leda far can see
Last Line: Glad he had got a tale to whisper there.


I WONDER not my Leda far can see,
Since for her eyes she might an eagle be,
And dare the sun; but that she hears so well,
As that she could my private whisperings tell,
I stand amaz'd. Her ears are not so long,
That they could reach my words: hence then it sprung,
Love overhearing fled to her bright ear,
Glad he had got a tale to whisper there.
