SONNET: 5: WRITTEN AFTER SEEING COLLECTION OF PICTURES AT WILTON HOUSE, by THOMAS WARTON THE YOUNGER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: From pembroke's princely dome, where mimic art Last Line: And in bright trophies clothe the twilight wall. Subject(s): Paintings And Painters; Wilton House, Wiltshire, England | |||
FROM Pembroke's princely dome, where mimic Art Decks with a magic hand the dazzling bowers, Its living hues where the warm pencil pours, And breathing forms from the rude marble start -- How to life's humbler scene can I depart, My breast all glowing from these gorgeous towers? In my low cell how cheat the sullen hours? Vain the complaint; for Fancy can impart (To Fate superior, and to Fortune's doom) Whate'er adorns the stately-storied hall. She, 'mid the dungeon's solitary gloom, Can dress the Graces in their Attic pall; Bid the green landscape's vernal beauty bloom, And in bright trophies clothe the twilight wall. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE MARIAGE OF THE KING: OF GEORGE, AND PROPERTY by THOMAS WARTON THE YOUNGER RETIREMENT; INSCRIPTION IN A HERMITAGE by THOMAS WARTON THE YOUNGER SONNET: 3: WRITTEN IN A BLANK LEAF OF DUGDALE'S MONASTICON by THOMAS WARTON THE YOUNGER SONNET: 7.
