ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN BY LORD KNOWLES: SONG BY THE GARDNER'S BOY AND MAN, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Welcome to this flowery place Last Line: Spring out of the silly briar. | |||
1. Welcome to this flowery place, Fair Goddess and sole Queen of grace: All eyes triumph in your sight, Which through all this empty space Casts such glorious beams of light. 2. Paradise were meeter far To entertain so bright a star: But why errs my folly so? Paradise is where you are: Heaven above, and heaven below. 3. Could our powers and wishes meet, How well would they your graces greet! Yet accept of our desire: Roses, of all flowers most sweet, Spring out of the silly briar. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 10.
