John Fletcher Never Poems
- 1. Hear, Ye Ladies
HEAR, ye ladies that despise
What the mighty Love has done;
Fear examples and be wise:
Fair Callisto was a nun;
... - 2. The Faithful Shepherdess (monologue)
Through yon same bending plain,
That flings his arms down to the main,
And through these thick woods have I run,
Whose bottom never kissed the sun
... - 3. Orpheus I Am, Come From The Deeps Below
Orpheus I am, come from the deeps below,
To thee, fond man, the plagues of love to show.
To the fair fields where loves eternal dwell
There's none that come, but first they pass through hell:
... - 4. Away, Delights
Away, delights! go seek some other dwelling,
For I must die.
Farewell, false love! thy tongue is ever telling
Lie after lie.
... - 5. Hear, Ye Ladies That Despise
Hear, ye ladies that despise,
What the mighty Love has done;
Fear examples, and be wise:
Fair Callisto was a nun;
...
