A WISH by THOMAS EDWARD BROWN

First Line: OF TWO THINGS ONE: WITH CHAUCER LET ME RIDE
Last Line: RING ENDLESS CHANGES ON THE BELLS OF LOVE.
Subject(s): CHAUCER, GEOFFREY (1342-1400); PETRARCH (1304-1374); WISHES; FRANCESCO PETRARCA;

OF two things one: with Chaucer let me ride,
And hear the Pilgrims' tales; or, that denied,
Let me with Petrarch in a dew-sprent grove
Ring endless changes on the bells of love.
