LONDON; ANAGRAM, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "though now I am unwilling, woes attend" Last Line: Unto 'em such other in the end Subject(s): London Fire (1666); Great Fire Of 1666 | |||
Though Now I am unwilling, wOes attend Me, so I grieve by fOrce, Let Heaven send Such Detriment no more, for nOw I find, grief wilL alONe DepOse the Noblest mind, Thus this will highest Spirits subjugate, They must (though most unwilling) yield to Fate. LONDON'S EPITAPH Here lies the Flower (as you may understand) Not of a Family, but of a Land; A beauteous LADY, Nations did her court, And all the World unto her did resort: She had a vast Estate (as may appear) And many Sisters, but made none her Heir; No, She (that they the more might sadly mourn) Has all, consumed with her in her URN. But from those Ashes all her Sisters crys Are, that another PHAENIX yet may rise; And all hopes are, Heaven yet will send Unto 'em such another in the End. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UPON THE LATE LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT OF FIRE ... by JOHN ALLISON (1645-1683) LONDON SECOND TEARS by JOHN CROUCH LONDONS NONSUCH; OR, THE GLORY OF THE ROYAL EXCHANGE by HENRY DUKE GREAT BRITTAINS BEAUTY; OR, LONDON'S DELIGHT by GEORGE ELIOTT LONDONS RESURRECTION by SIMON FORD THE CONFLAGRATION OF LONDON, POETICAL DELINEATED by SIMON FORD ENGLAND'S PASSING BELL by THOMAS GILBERT (1613-1694) THE DREADFUL BURNING OF LONDON by JOSEPH GUILLIM TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
