THE RIVER MEADOWS (IN FLOOD): 59 by ANDREW MARVELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: THEN, TO CONCLUDE THESE PLEASANT ACTS
Last Line: AND ISLES TH'ASTONISHT CATTLE ROUND.
Subject(s): FLOODS; RIVERS;

Then, to conclude these pleasant Acts,
@3Denton@1 sets ope its @3Cataracts@1;
And makes the Meadow truly be
(What it but seem'd before) a Sea.
For, jealous of its @3Lords@1 long stay,
It try's t'invite him thus away.
The River in it self is drown'd,
And Isles th'astonisht Cattle round.
