THE INDIAN QUEEN: HYMN TO THE SUN, by JOHN DRYDEN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: You to whom victory we owe Last Line: And by their loss of pow'r declare your own. Subject(s): Altars; Blood; Sacrifices; Sun | |||
YOU to whom Victory we owe, Whose glories rise By sacrifice And from our fates below, Never did your Altars shine Feasted with Blood so near divine. Princes to whom we bow, As they to you, Thus you can ravish from a throne, And by their loss of pow'r declare your own. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOURNEY INTO THE EYE by DAVID LEHMAN AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH WHY I WAKE EARLY by MARY OLIVER CONTRA MORTEM: THE SUN by HAYDEN CARRUTH SERPENT SUN EYE BEWITCHING MY EYE by AIME CESAIRE A SONG FOR ST.
