THE ACCOUNTE OF W. CANYNGES FEAST, by THOMAS CHATTERTON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Through the hall the bell hath sound Last Line: If rowley, iscam, or tyb. Gorges be not seen. Subject(s): Feasts | |||
THROUGH the hall the bell hath sound; Welcoming doth the mayor beseem; The aldermen do sit around, And snuffle up the savoury steam, Like asses wild in desert waste Sweetly the morning air do taste. So keen they ate; the minstrels play, The din of angels do they keep, High style. The guests have nought to say, But not their thanks, and fall asleep. Thus every day be I to dine, If Rowley, Iscam, or Tyb. Gorges be not seen. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...UNWELCOME by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE THE LAY OF ST.
