PHILLIS INAMOROTA, by LANCELOT ANDREWES First Line: Come, be my valentine Last Line: Come, be my valentine! Subject(s): Courtship; Holidays; Valentine's Day | |||
Come, be my Valentine! I'll gather eglantine, Cowslips and sops-in-wine, With fragrant roses. Down by thy Phillis sit, She with white lilies will get And white daffodils fit To make these posies. I have a milk-white lamb, New taken from the dam, It comes where'er I am When I call "Willy:" I have a wanton kid Under my apron hid, A colt that never was rid, A pretty filly. I bear in sign of love A sparrow in my glove, And in my breast a dove, These shall all be thine: Besides of sheep a flock, Which yieldeth many a lock, And this shall be thy stock: Come, be my Valentine! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VALENTINE THOUGHTS FOR MARI by EMANUEL DI PASQUALE A VALENTINE FOR MY TEACHER by JACK PRELUTSKY A VALENTINE TO SHERWOOD ANDERSON by GERTRUDE STEIN THOUGH VALENTINE BRINGS LOVE by WALLACE STEVENS A VALENTINE by WALLACE STEVENS THREE VALENTINES TO THE WIDE WORLD by MONA VAN DUYN ON ST.
