FALSE FRIEND, by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM First Line: I had a friend, but he Last Line: My ulcer festering. | |||
I had a friend, but he Was no true friend to me; A wound he was, that tore My heart, and pained me sore. He gloated to espy Me slip, then like a fly He swooped, rejoiced to sting My ulcer festering. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CANDLE by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE PEN by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE STORK by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM THE TOOTHPICK by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM VULTURES by GHALIB IBN RIBAH AL-HAJJAM TELL'S BIRTHPLACE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE THE TEMPER (1) by GEORGE HERBERT A REMEMBRANCE OF SOME ENGLISH POETS by RICHARD BARNFIELD PSALM 54 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE ONLY ONE LIFE by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET: MASQUERS SECOND DANCE by THOMAS CAMPION |
