CONSTANCY, by PHILIP AYRES Poet's Biography First Line: Place me where sol dries up the flow'ry fields Last Line: Nothing from cynthia can it e'er remove. Subject(s): Fidelity; Faithfulness; Constancy | |||
PLACE me where Sol dries up the flow'ry fields, Or where he to the frosty winter yields: Place me where he does mod'rate heat dispense, And where his beams have a kind influence: Place me in humble state, or place me high, In a dark clime, or a serener sky; Place me where days or nights are short or long, In age mature, or be it old or young: Place me in Heav'n, on earth, or in the main, On a high hill, low vale, or level plain: Let me have vigorous parts, or dullness have; Place me in liberty, or as a slave: Give me a black, or an illustrious fame: As I have liv'd, I'll ever live the same; Where I at first did fix my constant love, Nothing from Cynthia can it e'er remove. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARGUING BARTUSIAK by ALBERT GOLDBARTH THE VISIONARY by EMILY JANE BRONTE THE PROTESTATION by THOMAS CAREW A VALEDICTION: OF MY NAME IN THE WINDOW by JOHN DONNE ELEGY: 11.
