SEVILLE, by AL-TUTILI First Line: I was bored with old seville Last Line: Than the dribble of a pool. | |||
I was bored with old Seville And Seville was bored with me; Had the city shared my skill To invent abusive rhyme, Rivals in invective, we Would have had a lovely time. So at last my weary heart Could endure no more, and cried It was time that we should part: Water in a cloud is cool, And is much more purified Than the dribble of a pool. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THOUGHTS OF PHENA AT NEWS OF HER DEATH by THOMAS HARDY THE MAID'S LAMENT; ELIZABETHAN by WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR THE SOLITARY WOODSMAN by CHARLES GEORGE DOUGLAS ROBERTS IDYLLS OF THE KING: THE LAST TOURNAMENT by ALFRED TENNYSON WOMAN'S BEAUTY by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE THE MAPLE TREE OVER THE WAY by LEVI BISHOP THE RING AND THE BOOK: BOOK 3.
