TO HIS MISTRESS RETIRING IN AFFECTION, by THOMAS CAREW Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Fly not from him whose silent misery Last Line: Then know my reason hates thee, though I love thee. Subject(s): Love - Unrequited | |||
FLY not from him whose silent misery Breathes many an unwitness'd sigh to thee, Who, having felt thy scorn, yet constant is, And whom thou hast thyself call'd only his. When first mine eyes threw flames, whose spirit mov'd thee, Hadst thou not look'd again I had not lov'd thee. Nature did ne'er two different things unite With peace, which are by nature opposite. If thou force Nature, and be backward gone, O, blame not me, that strive to draw thee on: But if my constant love shall fail to move thee, Then know my reason hates thee, though I love thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TUTTO E SCIOLTO by JAMES JOYCE APPULDURCOMBE PARK by AMY LOWELL TALE OF THE MAYOR'S SON by GLYN MAXWELL ELEGY FOR AN ENEMY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET ESSAY ON WHAT I THINK ABOUT MOST by ANNE CARSON A DEPOSITION FROM LOVE by THOMAS CAREW A PASTORAL DIALOGUE: SHEPHERD, NYMPH, CHORUS by THOMAS CAREW |
