AD HENRICUM PORTER, by ROBERT WEVER Poet's Biography First Line: Porter, I durst not mell with sacred writ Last Line: If that too soon thou hadst begun her ring. Alternate Author Name(s): Weever, Robert Subject(s): Porter, Henry (16th Century) | |||
Porter, I durst not mell with sacred writ, Nor woe the mistress 'fore I win the maid; For my young years are tasked; it's yet unfit, For youth as eld is never half so staid. Thyself which hath the sum of Art and Wit Thus much I know unto me would have said; Thy silver bell could not so sweetly sing If that too soon thou hadst begun her ring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ADOLF EICHMANN by HAYDEN CARRUTH DR.
