DIZAIN TO CLEMENT MAROT, by MARGARET OF ANGOULEME Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: If but your creditors, the which you chyde Last Line: Such skill as yours beyond all worth of gold. Alternate Author Name(s): Marguerite D'angouleme; Marguerite Of Navarre; Marguerite De Valois Subject(s): Marot, Clement (1497-1544) | |||
IF but your creditors, the which you chyde, Did knowe as I the worth of your rare wit, Of all your dettes you might full soon be quit Or great or smalle, whatever still maye byde; If each did holde a dizain duly writ, What sum soever the full worth of it Would then be his by thousands multiplied. The worth of money maye by weight be tolde, But none maye knowe what guerdon doth befit Such skill as yours beyond all worth of gold. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VERY EARLY SPRING by KATHERINE MANSFIELD LA CONDUCTORA DEL DESEO/CONDUIT by VIRGIL SUAREZ A MOMENT by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE ON DONNE'S POETRY by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE AT CASTERBRIDGE FAIR: 7.
