FORBEAR (fair Phyllis) Oh forbear Those deadly killing frowns, and spare A heart so loving and so true, By none to be subdu'd, but you, Who my poor life's sole Princess are. You only can create my care; But offend you I all things dare; Then lest your cruelty you rue Forbear; And lest you kill that heart, beware, To which there is some pity due, If but because I humbly sue. Your anger therefore, sweetest Fair, Though mercy in your sex is rare, Forbear. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VEERY'S FLUTE by LUCY BRANCH ALLEN ASSASSINS by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT THE BOOK OF GOD by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR ITALY AND THE WORLD by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING A MIRACLE by AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR |
