Lord John Wilmot Poems

  • To This Moment A Rebel
    To this moment a rebel I throw down my arms,
    Great Love, at first sight of Olinda's bright charms.
    Make proud and secure by such forces as these,
    You may now play the tyrant as soon as you please. ...
  • Absent Of Thee I Languish Still
    Absent from thee I languish still;
    Then ask me not, when I return?
    The straying fool 'twill plainly kill
    To wish all day, all night to mourn. ...
  • To His Mistress

    Does that eclipsing hand of thine deny

    Soft as those kind looks she gave me,
    When with love's resistless art,
    And her eyes, she did enslave me; ...
  • A Woman's Honour
    Love bade me hope, and I obeyed;
    Phyllis continued still unkind:
    Then you may e'en despair, he said,
    In vain I strive to change her mind. ...

Poem of the day

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Poem
Beatrice. (From Dante. Purgatorio, Xxx., Xxxi.)
 by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Even as the Blessed, at the final summons,
Shall rise up quickened, each one from his grave,
Wearing again the garments of the flesh,
So, upon that celestial chariot,
A hundred rose
ad vocem tanti senis
,
Ministers and messengers of life eternal.
