IMITATION OF TIBULLUS by GEORGE GORDON BYRON

Poet Analysis

First Line: CRUEL CERINTHUS! DOES THE FELL DISEASE
Last Line: BY DEATH ALONE I CAN AVOID YOUR HATE.
Subject(s): HATE;
CRUEL Cerinthus! does the fell disease
Which racks my breast your fickle bosom please?
Alas! I wish'd but to o'ercome the pain,
That I might live for love and you again:
But now I scarcely shall bewail my fate;
By death alone I can avoid your hate.
