TO ONE OVERHEARING HIS PRIVATE DISCOURSE, by THOMAS RANDOLPH Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I wonder not my leda far can see Last Line: Glad he had got a tale to whisper there. | |||
I WONDER not my Leda far can see, Since for her eyes she might an eagle be, And dare the sun; but that she hears so well, As that she could my private whisperings tell, I stand amaz'd. Her ears are not so long, That they could reach my words: hence then it sprung, Love overhearing fled to her bright ear, Glad he had got a tale to whisper there. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE TO MASTER ANTHONY STAFFORD [TO HASTEN HIM INTO COUNTRY] by THOMAS RANDOLPH UPON HIS PICTURE by THOMAS RANDOLPH A CHARACTER by THOMAS RANDOLPH A COMPLAINT AGAINST CUPID, THAT HE NEVER MADE HIM IN LOVE by THOMAS RANDOLPH A DIALOGUE BETWIXT A NYMPH AND A SHEPHERD by THOMAS RANDOLPH A MASK FOR LYDIA by THOMAS RANDOLPH A PARENETICON TO THE TRULY NOBLE GENTLEMAN MASTER ENDYMION PORTER by THOMAS RANDOLPH A PARLEY WITH HIS EMPTY PURSE by THOMAS RANDOLPH A PASTORAL COURTSHIP by THOMAS RANDOLPH |
