This poet described a building whose doors are "untaught to shut," because they know that the house "never didst deserve a foe."
This poet described a building whose doors are "untaught to shut," because they know that the house "never didst deserve a foe." One poem by him tells a woman proud of her beauty: "That killing power is none of thine, / I gave it to thy voice, and eyes." This author of "To Saxham" adapted the "bower of bliss" from The Faerie Queene into a euphemism for a woman's cleavage in a poem in which he claims that his lips will write a "tract for lovers on the printed snow" of a woman's flesh. He wrote: "Here lies a King that rul'd as hee thought fit / The universall Monarchy of Wit" in the epitaph concluding his elegy upon the death of John (*) Donne. He is not Ben Jonson, but many of his most famous poems are addressed to Celia, whom he asked to fly with him "to Love's Elysium," in a poem that closes by asking why "this goblin Honour, which the world adores, / Should make men atheists, and not women whores?" For 10 points, name this Cavalier poet, the author of "A Rapture."
