Robert Greene Pearl Poems
- 1. Sephestia's Lullaby
WEEP not, my wanton, smile upon my knee;
When thou art old there 's grief enough for thee.
Mother's wag, pretty boy,
Father's sorrow, father's joy;
... - 2. Weep Not, My Wanton
WEEP not, my wanton, smile upon my knee:
When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.
Mother's wag, pretty boy,
Father's sorrow, father's joy.
... - 3. Menaphon: Sephesta's Song To Her Child
-
Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee,
-
When thou art old there's grief enough for thee.
... - 4. Sephestia's Lullaby
Weep not, my wanton, smile upon my knee;
When thou art old there 's grief enough for thee.
Mother's wag, pretty boy,
Father's sorrow, father's joy;
... - 5. Samela
Like to Diana in her summer weed,
Girt with a crimson robe of brightest dye,
Goes fair Samela.
Whiter than be the flocks that straggling feed
...
