AD HENRICUM PORTER, by ROBERT WEVER Poet's Biography First Line: Porter, I durst not mell with sacred writ Last Line: If that too soon thou hadst begun her ring. Alternate Author Name(s): Weever, Robert Subject(s): Porter, Henry (16th Century) | |||
Porter, I durst not mell with sacred writ, Nor woe the mistress 'fore I win the maid; For my young years are tasked; it's yet unfit, For youth as eld is never half so staid. Thyself which hath the sum of Art and Wit Thus much I know unto me would have said; Thy silver bell could not so sweetly sing If that too soon thou hadst begun her ring. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE SALE OF MY FARM by ROBERT FROST EVENING HYMN by REGINALD HEBER THE ELF AND THE DORMOUSE by OLIVER BROOK HERFORD FRIEND OF SINNERS by RICHARD BURNHAM THE OLD MEN by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE |
