O figure FIVE, presaging evil fate T' Earth's best! O hated Hades' five-fold gate! O England's scandal, and abhorr'd of Heaven! To purge its stain, O @3Charles@1, to thee is given. Since kind @3Lucina@1 give thee a FIFTH child, Pentathlon shall thy children five be styled. Wouldst thou be famous in many an after-book, In thy fair children see a Pentateuch; And since thou lovest poesy divine, In Harmony's five notes, O Father shine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SYMPATHETIC PORTRAIT OF A CHILD by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS THE LAWYER'S INVOCATION TO SPRING by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL THE PILLAR OF FAME by ROBERT HERRICK IN THE PINK' by SIEGFRIED SASSOON IMAGES: 2 by RICHARD ALDINGTON INFLUENCE by BELLE BEARDEN BARRY THE SPHINX AT MOUNT AUBURN by CHARLOTTE FISKE BATES |
