ENG303H1 Lecture Notes - Carnivalesque, Lycidas, Dropt
Document Summary
Weep no more, woful shepherds weep no more, [ 165 ] Sunk though he be beneath the watry floar, So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed, And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore, [ 170 ] Flames in the forehead of the morning sky: Through the dear might of him that walk"d the waves; With nectar pure his oozy lock"s he laves, [ 175 ] In the blest kingdoms meek of joy and love. That sing, and singing in their glory move, [ 180 ] And wipe the tears for ever from his eyes. Hence forth thou art the genius of the shore, In thy large recompense, and shalt be good. To all that wander in that perilous flood. Repetition of lament to repetition of consolation: for lycidas is dead, dead ere his prime, Young lycidas, and hath not left his peer: Water imagery christ walking on water nectar.
