Thomas Shadwell Poems

  • 1.
    Your awful voice I hear and I obey,
    Brother to Jove and monarch of the sea.
    Come down, my blusterers, swell no more,
    Your stormy rage give o'er.

    Halcyon days, now wars are ending.
    You shall find where-e'er you sail
    Tritons all the while attending
    With a kind and gentle gale.

    In this grove let's sport and play,
    For this is Flora's holiday,
    Sacred to ease and happy love,

    And on the brink of Hell appear.

    While heat makes buds and blossoms spring,
    those pretty couples love and sing.
    ...
