Abraham Cowley (Абрахам Каули)


Cousel


AH! what advice can I receive!
No, satisfy me first;
For who would physick-potions give
To one that dies with thirst?

A little puff of breath, we find,
Small fires can quench and kill;
But, when they're great, the adverse wind
Does make them greater still.

Now whilst you speak, it moves me much,
But straight I'm just the same;
Alas! th' effect must needs be such
Of cutting through a flame. 



Abraham Cowley's other poems:
  1. The Heart Breaking
  2. The Thief
  3. The Grasshopper
  4. On the Death of Sir Henry Wootton
  5. To the Lord Falkland
