Though you unjustly scorn;
Since that poor swain, that sighs for you
For you alone was born.

For you alone was born! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A powerful and touching poem on love. '' For such a faithful, tender heart Cn never break, can never break in vain.'' Wonderful lines from a beautifully written poem.
The opening statement of the poem is interesting and eye catching. The rest of the lines flow down so eloquently! 'Broken heart is always a popular theme' - Well said @Savita Tyagi, I agree with you fully.
strong, tender and brave heart none can break easily none can break in vain//// great thought
Such a delight to revisit this wonderful poem by Lord John Wilmot...........................
Such loveliest words from a CLASSIC Poet who became only 33 years young. A perfect choice as a CLASSIC POEM of The DAY! Milliards of Votes endlessly. CONGRATULATIONS for the Honored Decents of Lord John Wilmot. Sincerely from Sylvia Frances Chan, Dutch Poetess.
intelligent selection of words, beautiful expression of feelings...overall a lovely piece! thank you post for sharing!
Very beautifully written- -smooth as silk- -very effortless sounding. My only reservation is that it sounds to me like he is trying to shame the lady into reciprocating his love... which I suppose is just as valid a topic as any other.
- - -For such a faithful, tender heart Can never break, can never break in vain.- - - A wonderful read.
You have shown the tender grandeur of your love, the endurance of your constancy so as not to let the labor of love be wasted.........very simply and beautifully expressed........thanks for sharing
Some how reading the poem I didn’t feel it is written by a 17th century poet. The language is so much like modern language. Broken heart is always a popular theme.
it is good somethings never change because at least you know what you are getting.
What a beautiful poem with majestic flow and sweet rhyme. Liked it. Thanks for sharing.
I cannot change, as others do, Though you unjustly scorn; Since that poor swain, that sighs for you For you alone was born. Magnificent poem by Lord John Wilmot..................
