FORTUNE, by THOMAS MORE Poet's Biography First Line: Fie! [or, my] [or, eye-] flattering fortune, look thou never so fair Last Line: Ever after thy calm, look I for a storm. Variant Title(s): Lewis, The Lost Lover;to Fortune | |||
Eye-flattering fortune, look thou never so fair, Or never so pleasantly begin to smile As though thou wouldst my ruin all repair; During my life thou shalt me not beguile. Trust shall I God, to enter in a while His haven of heaven, sure and uniform; Ever after thy calm, look I for a storm. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM CALLED CHILDHOOD by THOMAS MORE QUANTUM EST QUOD DESIT by THOMAS MORE THE FLAMING CIRCLE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER MORTAL COMBAT by MARY ELIZABETH COLERIDGE ON HIS RETURN FROM SPAIN by THOMAS WYATT SONNET: TO L.T.
