A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 33, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Aye me! That love should natures works accuse Last Line: A grief, o death! To live and love in vain. Subject(s): Love – Unrequited | |||
AYE me! that love should Nature's work accuse! Where cruel Laura still her beauty views, River, or cloudy jet, or crystal bright, Are all but servants of her self-delight. Yet her deformed thoughts she cannot see; And that's the cause she is so stern to me. Virtue and duty can no favour gain: A grief, O death! to live and love in vain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LA PALMA by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA BEAUTY SHOPPE by MARILYN NELSON EPISTLE TO A FRIEND, IN ANSWER TO SOME LINES TO BE CHEERFUL by GEORGE GORDON BYRON A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 25 by THOMAS CAMPION A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 37 by THOMAS CAMPION SECOND BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 20 by THOMAS CAMPION A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
