HE THAT HATH NO MISTRESS, by ANONYMOUS First Line: He that hath no mistress must not wear a favour Last Line: "false cupid, I will have thee whipped, and have thy mother carted" Subject(s): Love - Complaints | |||
He that hath no mistress, must not wear a favour, He that woos a mistress, must serve before he have her, He that hath no bedfellow, must lie alone, And he that hath no lady, must be content with Joan, And so must I, for why alas my love and I am parted, False Cupid, I will have thee whipt, and have thy mother carted. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TALKING RICHARD WILSON BLUES, BY RICHARD CLAY WILSON by DENIS JOHNSON THE BRIDGE by ALEXANDER ANDERSON THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD MISGIVINGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS THROUGH AGONY: 1 by CLAUDE MCKAY HEMATITE HEIRLOOM LIVES ON (MAYBE DECEMBER 1980) by ALICE NOTLEY QUICK AND BITTER by YEHUDA AMICHAI TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
