EPIGRAM by ALEXANDER POPE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN OTHER LADIES TO THE GROVES GO DOWN
Last Line: AND HAUNT THE PLACES WHERE THEIR HONOUR DY'D.
Subject(s): COURTS & COURTIERS;
When other Ladies to the Groves go down,
Corinna still, and Fulvia stay in Town;
Those Ghosts of Beauty ling'ring here reside,
And haunt the Places where their Honour dy'd.
