BURNING TOGETHER, by GIAMBATTISTA MARINI Poet's Biography First Line: Lady, to death we're doom'd our crime the same! Last Line: In my heart thou wilt burn, I roast before thine eyes -- Alternate Author Name(s): Marino, Giambattista; Marino, Giovanni Battista | |||
Lady, to Death we're doom'd, our crime the same! Thou, that in me thou kindledst such fierce Heat; I, that my Heart did of a Sun so sweet The Rays concentre to so hot a flame. I, fascinated by an Adder's Eye, Deaf as an Adder thou to all my Pain; Thou obstinate in Scorn, in Passion I -- I lov'd too much, too much didst thou disdain. Hear then our doom in Hell as just as stern, Our sentence equal as our crimes conspire Who living basked at Beauty's earthly Fire In living flames eternal there must burn/ -- Hell for us both fit places too supplies -- In my Heart thou wilt burn, I roast before thine Eyes -- | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMMANDED BY HIS MISTRESS TO WOO FOR HER by GIAMBATTISTA MARINI MADRIGAL XI by GIAMBATTISTA MARINI TO A BLIND MAN IN LOVE by GIAMBATTISTA MARINI DOMESDAY BOOK: DOMESDAY BOOK by EDGAR LEE MASTERS SONG OF NATURE by RALPH WALDO EMERSON WHY I WRITE NOT OF LOVE by BEN JONSON FLAMMONDE by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON PRAYER FOR A CITY CHILD by DOROTHY P.
