SONG, by CHARLES SEDLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Phillis is my only joy Last Line: What need lovers wish for more? | |||
PHILLIS is my only joy Faithless as the wind or seas; Sometimes coming, sometimes coy, Yet she never fails to please. If with a frown I am cast down, Phillis, smiling And beguilling, Makes me happier than before. Though, alas! too late I find Nothing can her fancy fix; Yet the moment she is kind I forgive her all her tricks; Which though I see, I can't get free; She deceiving, I believing, What need lovers wish for more? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MULBERRY GARDEN: CHILD AND MAIDEN by CHARLES SEDLEY ADVICE TO THE OLD BEAUX by CHARLES SEDLEY PHILLIS KNOTTING by CHARLES SEDLEY GOOD-BYE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON MARTHA WASHINGTON by SIDNEY LANIER RUPERT BROOKE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON LA BELLA BONA ROBA by RICHARD LOVELACE MODERN LOVE: 1 by GEORGE MEREDITH AN EGYPTIAN PULLED GLASS BOTTLE IN THE SHAPE OF A FISH by MARIANNE MOORE |
