THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD: TRANSLATION, by CAIUS PEDO ALBINOVANUS First Line: The plants and trees made poor and old Last Line: Do promise nature's help in vain. | |||
The plants and trees made poor and old By winter envious, The springtime bounteous Covers again from shame and cold; But never man repaired again His youth and beauty lost, Though art, and care, and cost Do promise nature's help in vain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VERSES FROM THE GRANDE CHARTREUSE by MATTHEW ARNOLD TWO AT A FIRESIDE by EDWIN MARKHAM THE WIND SUFFERS by LAURA RIDING UPON A SPIDER CATCHING A FLY by EDWARD TAYLOR THE BATTLE-SONG OF GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS by MICHAEL ALTENBURG THE ARGONAUTS (ARGONATUICA): THE MOVING ROCKS by APOLLONIUS RHODIUS THE REPLY OF Q.
