SECOND BOOK OF AIRS: TO THE READER by THOMAS CAMPION

Poet Analysis

First Line: THAT HOLY HYMNS WITH LOVERS' CARES ARE KNIT
Last Line: AND SOME MATCHED WORSE. YET NONE OF HIM COMPLAIN.
Subject(s): GRIEF;
@3THAT holy hymns with lovers' cares are knit
Both in one quire here, thou mayest think't unfit.
Why dost not blame the Stationer as well,
Who in the same shop sets all sorts to sell?
Divine with styles profane, grave shelved with vain,
And some matched worse. Yet none of him complain.@1
