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 A HYMN OF HATE by DOROTHY PARKER DEATH (1) by MAXWELL BODENHEIM THE CREATION (A NEGRO SERMON) by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON THE MORAL FABLES: THE SWALLOW, AND THE OTHER BIRDS by AESOP |
