Christopher Marlowe Sweet Poems

  • 1.
    MUST have wanton poets, pleasant wits,
    Musicians, that with touching of a string
    May draw the pliant king which way I please:
    Music and poetry is his delight;
    ...
  • 2.
    Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships,
    And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?
    Sweet Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.
    Her lips suck forth my soul: see where it flies!
    ...
  • 3.
    _Jack._ Seest thou not yon farmer's son?

    Wherewith as one displeased away she trips.
    ...
  • 7.
    On Hellespont, guilty of true love's blood,
    In view and opposite two cities stood,
    Sea-borderers, disjoin'd by Neptune's might;
    The one Abydos, the other Sestos hight.
