THE CHEAT, by JOSEPH BEAUMONT First Line: Sweet beguilings, / cruel smileings Last Line: Their own funeral fires. Subject(s): Sin | |||
SWEET Beguilings, Cruel Smileings, Tickling Soules to death; Tedious Leisures, Bitter Pleasures, Smooth yet cragged Path; 2 Heavy lightnes, Whose sad Sleightnes Cheers, yet breaks the Bearer; Dainty Treasons Whose quaint Reasons Teach yet fool the Hearer: 3 Glorious Troubles, Mighty Bubbles, Horror fairly brimmed, Bane in Honey, Brass in Money, Nothing neatly timmed: 4 Are the Prizes Life devizes To warm fond Desires; Which by growing Hot, are blowing Their own funeral Fires. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SEVEN STREAMS OF NEVIS by GALWAY KINNELL CHANEL NO. 5 by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BROTHERS: 4.
