VERSES, by HONORAT DU BUEIL First Line: If for friendship many a day Last Line: Have for only wage--a song. Alternate Author Name(s): Racan, Seigneur De | |||
IF for friendship many a day, Trouble and solicitude, I with verses only pay, Do not such poor guerdon lay To your friend's ingratitude. For the gods whose virtues you Closely with your own pursue-- Virtues rare on every side-- Howsoever much and long They for thankless men provide, Have for only wage--a song. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BALLADE AGAINST THE ENEMIES OF FRANCE by FRANCOIS VILLON WRITTEN IN EMERSON'S ESSAYS by MATTHEW ARNOLD ODE ON THE SPRING by THOMAS GRAY THIS COMPOST: 2. by WALT WHITMAN |
