WHY PLAGUE ME, LOVES?, by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS Poet's Biography First Line: Although my years be not yet two-and-twenty Last Line: And play at dice together, idle scamps! Alternate Author Name(s): Asklepiades Of Samos | |||
ALTHOUGH my years be not yet two-and-twenty, I'm sick of life as any man can be. O Loves, with work to do elsewhere and plenty, Why must you make your bonfires out of me? Nay, little Loves, where will you find employment When this poor soul you've teased so long decamps? Ah, sure enough, fall to your old enjoyment And play at dice together, idle scamps! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARCHEANASSA by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS BLACK GIRL by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS EUMARES by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS PREFACE TO ERINNA'S POEMS by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS SEASONS by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS THERE IS NO LOVING AFTER DEATH by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS TO A GIRL by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS ZEUS TOO IS A VICTIM by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS LONG JOHN BROWN AND LITTLE MARY BELL by WILLIAM BLAKE THE CLIFF SWALLOWS by DEBRA NYSTROM |
