COMPARISON OF LOVE TO A STREAM FALLING FROM THE ALPS by THOMAS WYATT

Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM THESE HIGH HILLS AS WHEN A SPRING DOTH FALL
Last Line: THE FIRST ESTEW IS REMEDY ALONE.
Subject(s): LOVE - NATURE OF;
From these high hills as when a spring doth fall,
It trilleth down with still and subtle course;
Of this and that it gathers aye, and shall,
Till it have just off flowed the stream and forse,
Then at the foot it rageth over all:
So fareth love when he hath ta'en a source;
His rein is rage, resistance vaileth none;
The first estew is remedy alone.
