ON THE AUTHOR OF BRITANNIA'S PEERLESS PASTORALS: AN ODE, by EDWARD HALL First Line: Fear not, willy, but go on Last Line: Keep the day stricter than pan's festival. Subject(s): Browne, William (1591-1645) | |||
FEAR not, Willy, but go on With thy song of Doridon, Which will ne'er surpassed be By the best pipe in Arcady. What though Roger of the plains, Hobinoll and other swains, Join'd with Colin of the glen, Perigot and other men, Warble sweetly, thou when they Sung on Pan's last holiday, Won'st the chaplet which was made Hard by Tavy in a glade. Walla, Marine, Fida too, Do thy lasting favour woo; The fountain's god will rising be From his waters to hear thee; Hung'ring for thee makes us rave, All shut up in Limos' cave; O be thou the Redbreast, cherish Those who but for thee would perish, Or be Triton who alone May'st remove the mighty stone. Then in thine honour every shepherd shall Keep the day stricter than Pan's festival. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE ENTREATING HIM ...
