william drummond - a sonnet occasioned....... january 1616 - richard mitchley lyrics

Loading...

how cruelly these catives conspire!
what loathsome love breeds such a baleful band
betwixt the cankred king of creta land
that melancholy, old and angry sire
and him, who won’t to quench debate and ire
among the romans when his ports were clos’d!
but now his double face is still dispos’d
with saturn’s help, to freeze us at the fire

the earth ore*covered with a sheet of snow
refuses food to fowl, to bird, and beast;
the chilling cold lets every thing to grow
and surfeits cattle with a starving feast
curs’d be that love and mought continue short
which k!lls all creatures, and doth spoil our sport

- richard mitchley lyrics
