“Sleep, Silence's child, sweet father of soft rest, Prince whose approach peace to all mortals brings Indifferent host to shepherds and kings Sole comforter to minds with grief oppressed.” MindChildrenFatherSleepGriefSilenceSweetKingsApproachMortalsHostSoleIndifferentOppressedShepherdsComforter Author:William Drummond
“My thoughts hold mortal strife, I do detest my life, And with lamenting cries, Peace to my soul to bring, Oft calls that prince which here doth monarchize; But he, grim-grinning king, Who caitiffs scorns and doth the blest surprise, Late having deck'd with beauty's rose his tomb, Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come.” SoulSadnessCryKingsSadLateRoseSurpriseMy SoulMortalsWeedStrifeMy ThoughtsScornCropsTombsGrimDeckDisdainDetestGrinning Book:The Poems of William Drummond of Hawthornden: With Life, by Peter Cunningham Source: The Poems of William Drummond of Hawthornden: With Life, by Peter Cunningham
