WONDER not much, if thus amaz'd I look; Since I saw you, I have been planet-strook: A beauty, and so rare, I did descry, As, should I set her forth, you all, as I, Would lose your hearts; for he that can Know her and live, he must be more than man--- An apparition of so sweet a creature, That, credit me, she had not any feature That did not speak her angel. But no more Such heavenly things as these we must adore, Nor prattle of; lest, when we do but touch, Or strive to know, we wrong her too too much. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CLEOMENS, OR THE SPARTAN HERO: SONG by JOHN DRYDEN A TRIBUTE OF GRASSES by HAMLIN GARLAND CHILDREN by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR WHAT OF THE DARKNESS?; TO THE HAPPY DEAD PEOPLE by RICHARD THOMAS LE GALLIENNE AN OLD WOMAN (2) by MOTHER GOOSE |
