ON THESE LABOURED POEMS OF THE DECEASED AUTHOR, MR. WILLIAM BOSWORTH, by L. C. First Line: These bleeding lovers, and unstain'd desires Last Line: Into new life, and set on fire your own. Subject(s): Bosworth, William (1618-1650) | |||
THESE bleeding lovers, and unstain'd desires, Their undry'd tears, and their religious fires, And their stars' sullen malice, which did bend Their lives and loves to an untimely end, May bring the pious reader with perfumes Of flow'rs and sighs to worship at their tombs, And their high flames admire. But oh, forbear That hasty zeal, and do not tread too near, For know the flames so ardent were that burn'd Their suffering hearts, and them to ashes turn'd, That by your sighs they may too soon be blown Into new life, and set on fire your own. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN EPITAPH ON THE DECEASED AUTHOR, IN ALLUSION TO SONNETS ON AURORA by E.
