IN ORKNAY, by             Poem Explanation        
First Line: Upon the utmost corners of the warld
Last Line: I change bot seas, bot cannot change my love.
Subject(s): Orkney Islands (scotland)


UPON the utmost corners of the warld,
And on the borders of this massive round,
Where fate and fortune hither has me harled
I do deplore my griefs upon this ground;
And seeing roaring seas from rocks rebound
By ebbs and streams of contrar routing tydes,
And Phoebus' chariot in their waves lie drown'd
Wha equally now night and day divides,
I call to mind the storms my thoghts abydes,
Which ever wax and never dois decrease,
For nights of dole day's joys ay ever hides,
And in their vayle doith all my weill suppress:
So this I see, wherever I remove,
I change bot seas, bot cannot change my love.
