Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: CANDIDIA HAS TAKEN A NEW LOVER
Last Line: AND THE THIRD WRITES AN EPIGRAM TO CANDIDIA.
Subject(s): LOVE; POETRY & POETS;
Candidia has taken a new lover
And three poets are gone into mourning.
The first has written a long elegy to "Chloris,"
To "Chloris chaste and cold," his "only Chloris."
The second has written a sonnet
upon the mutability of woman,
And the third writes an epigram to Candidia.
