UPON SIR JOHN LAURENCE'S BRINGING WATER OVER THE HILLS ..., by JOHN SUCKLING Poet's Biography First Line: And is the water come? Sure't cannot be Last Line: For love will creep where well it cannot go. | |||
AND is the water come? sure 't cannot be; It runs too much against philosophy: For heavy bodies to the centre bend, Light bodies only naturally ascend. How comes this then to pass? The good knight's skill Could nothing do without the water's will: Then 'twas the water's love that made it flow, For love will creep where well it cannot go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SUPPLEMENT OF AN IMPERFECT COPY OF VERSES OF MR.
