TO PHILOTINUS, by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON First Line: Philotinus! If you'd approve / yourself a faithful lover Last Line: Nor own, a salic law. | |||
Philotinus! if you'd approve Yourself a faithful lover, -- You must no more my anger move, But in the mildest terms of love Your passion still discover. Though born to rule, you must submit To my command with awe; Nor think your sex can you acquit, For Cupid's empire won't admit Nor own, a Salic Law. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTENTED MIND by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON ON BEAU NASH'S PICTURE AT BATH by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON TO DAMON by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON THE WINE OF NIGHT by LOUIS UNTERMEYER COLORADO MORTON'S RIDE by LEONARD BACON (1887-1954) A BARD'S EPITAPH by ROBERT BURNS THE GALLOWS by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS CHARACTERS: SARAH RIGBY by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD THE THINKER'S VISION by WILLIAM ROSE BENET THE LOVE SONNETS OF PROTEUS: 31.
