Thomas Campion Time Poems
- 1. Winter Nights Enlarge
Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours,
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
... - 2. The Measure Of Beauty
Give Beauty all her right,
She's not to one form tied;
Each shape yields fair delight,
Where her perfections bide:
... - 3. Think'st Thou To Seduce Me Then
Think'st thou to seduce me then with words that have no meaning?
Parrots so can learn to prate, our speech by pieces gleaning;
Nurses teach their children so about the time of weaning.
... - 4. Now Winter Nights Enlarge
Now winter nights enlarge
This number of their hours;
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
... - 5. Kind Are Her Answers,
Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers
From their own music when they stray.
... - 6. Winter Nights
Now winter nights enlarge
The number of their hours,
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
