EVIDENCE, by B. O. H. First Line: Of all the lines that volumes fill Last Line: That every jack had several gills. Subject(s): Aesop (620?-560? B.c) | |||
OF all the lines that volumes fill, Since AEsop first his fables told, The wisest is the proverb old, That every Jack must have his Jill. But when the crowd that nightly fills The down-town places, hillward goes, To hear them sing, one would suppose That every Jack had several gills. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GROATSWORTH OF WIT: A CONCEITED FABLE OF THE OLD COMEDIAN AESOP by ROBERT GREENE AESOP AT PLAY by GAIUS JULIUS PHAEDRUS THE LARK'S NEST; A FABLE FROM ESOP by CHARLOTTE SMITH PLAYING JACKS IN BHAKTAPUR by KAREN SWENSON OF THE MEAN AND SURE ESTATE by THOMAS WYATT ELEGY ON THYRZA by GEORGE GORDON BYRON DOROTHY'S DOWER by PHOEBE CARY |
