TO PHILOTINUS, by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON First Line: Philotinus! If you'd approve / yourself a faithful lover Last Line: Nor own, a salic law. | |||
Philotinus! if you'd approve Yourself a faithful lover, -- You must no more my anger move, But in the mildest terms of love Your passion still discover. Though born to rule, you must submit To my command with awe; Nor think your sex can you acquit, For Cupid's empire won't admit Nor own, a Salic Law. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTENTED MIND by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON ON BEAU NASH'S PICTURE AT BATH by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON TO DAMON by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON DOMESDAY BOOK: ALMA BELL TO THE CORONER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE, WAS CRUCIFIED, DEAD, AND BURIED by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER KEATS; SONNET by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW THE ANGEL'S WHISPER by SAMUEL LOVER SPRING, 1916 by ISAAC ROSENBERG |
