VERSES, by HONORAT DU BUEIL First Line: If for friendship many a day Last Line: Have for only wage--a song. Alternate Author Name(s): Racan, Seigneur De | |||
IF for friendship many a day, Trouble and solicitude, I with verses only pay, Do not such poor guerdon lay To your friend's ingratitude. For the gods whose virtues you Closely with your own pursue-- Virtues rare on every side-- Howsoever much and long They for thankless men provide, Have for only wage--a song. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BLUE-FLAG IN THE BOG by EDNA ST.
