COLDNESSE, by ABRAHAM COWLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: As water fluid is, till it do grow Last Line: The christall solid does remain. | |||
1. AS Water fluid is, till it do grow Solid and fixt by Cold; So in warm Seasons Love does loosely flow, Frost only can it hold. A Woman's rigour and disdain, Does his swift course restrain. 2.
