Analysis of Upon An Eunuch; A Poet. Fragment
Andrew Marvell 1621 (Winestead) – 1678 (London)
Nec sterilem te crede; Licet, mulieribus exul,
Falcem virginiae nequeas immitere messi,
Et nostro peccare modo. Tibi Fama perenne
Praegnabit; rapiesque novem de monse Sorores;
Et pariet modulos Echo repetita Nepotes.
