LINES ON WRITING A TRAGEDY by ALEXANDER POPE

Poet Analysis

First Line: TELL ME, BY ALL MELTING JOYS OF LOVE
Last Line: -- AM I NOT FIT TO WRITE A TRAGEDY?
Subject(s): WRITING & WRITERS;

Tell me, by all the melting joys of Love,
By the warm Transports and entrancing Languors,
By the soft Fannings of the wafting Sheets,
By the dear Tremblings of the Bed of Bliss;
By all these tender Adjurations tell me,
-- Am I not fit to write a Tragedy?
