FOURTH BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 2, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Respect my faith, regard my service past Last Line: My faith reward and from me scandal take. Subject(s): Love – Nature Of | |||
RESPECT my faith, regard my service past; The hope you winged call home to you at last. Great price it is that I in you shall gain, So great for you hath been my loss and pain. My wits I spent and time for you alone, Observing you and losing all for one. Some raised to rich estates in this time are, That held their hopes to mine, inferior far: Such, scoffing me, or pitying me, say thus, 'Had he not loved, he might have lived like us.' O then, dear sweet, for love and pity's sake My faith reward and from me scandal take. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CRY GOING OUT OVER PASTURES by ROBERT BLY AND KNEELING AT THE EDGE OF THE TRANSPARENT SEA I SHALL SHAPE FOR ... by ANNE CARSON THE GLASS ESSAY by ANNE CARSON AMONG MY FRIENDS LOVE IS A GREAT SORROW by ROBERT DUNCAN CHOSEN BY THE LION by LINDA GREGG THE SMALL THING LOVE IS by LINDA GREGG ADVISING MYSELF by PHILIP LEVINE LANCELOT WITH BICYCLE by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 9 by THOMAS CAMPION |
