But if you cast your greedy eyes on Myiscus, I'll scratch them out. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SIMON SURNAMED PETER by EDGAR LEE MASTERS RODNEY'S RIDE [JULY 3, 1776] by ELBRIDGE STREETER BROOKS A SPINSTER'S STINT by ALICE CARY ODE ON A DISTANT PROSPECT OF ETON COLLEGE by THOMAS GRAY THE PORTENT by HERMAN MELVILLE IN MEMORIAM (EASTER 1915) by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS |
