A FAITHFUL SERVANT, by DIOSCORIDES First Line: A lydian, yes, a lydian I Last Line: Timanthes will be thine. | |||
ALYDIAN, yes, a Lydian I; But though I was a slave, My master let his tutor lie In this, a free man's grave. Good years and happy be thy share! And when, with life's decline Thou comest, master, even there Timanthes will be thine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET: 48 by GEORGE SANTAYANA GETTING A PURCHASE by KAREN SWENSON A SONG FOR ST.
