Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Masterpieces of the World´s Literature, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 14: The Great Authors of the World With Their Master Productions Richard Lovelace, an English dramatist and poet, born in Kent, 1618; died in London, 1658. He shone at the court of Charles I., and sacrificed liberty and fortune for that unhappy prince. His "Lucasta" is a collection of charming verse, "The Scholar" is a comedy of merit, and "The Soldier" is a tragedy. To Lucasta, on Going to the Wars. Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind, That from the nunnery Of thy chaste breast and quiet mind To war and arms I fly. True, a new mistress now I chase, - The first foe in the field; And with a stronger faith embrace A sword, a horse, a shield. Yet this inconstancy is such As you too should adore: I could not love thee, dear, so much Loved I not honor more. From The Grasshopper. O thou that swing´st upon the waving ear Of some well-filled oaten beard, Drunk every night with a delicious tear Dropt thee from heaven, where now thou art reared, The joys of earth and air are thine entire, That with thy feet and wings dost hop and fly; And when thy poppy works thou dost retire To thy carved acorn bed to lie. Up with the day, the Sun thou welcom´st then, Sport´st in the gilt plaits of his beams, And all these merry days mak´st merry men, Thyself, and melancholy streams.
