    (1829) An Acrostic (Edgar Allan Poe)

    Uploaded by

    StelioPassaris
    This document is an acrostic poem for Elizabeth using the letters in her name. Each line begins with a successive letter of her name and comments on her saying "Love not" in a sweet way that will not cure passion or love like it did for Endymion when Luna tried to cure his love for her. The acrostic suggests that if Elizabeth's words against love truly come from her heart, she should speak them less gently and veil her eyes.

    Elizabeth it is in vain you say


    "Love not"thou sayest it in so sweet a way:
    In vain those words from thee or L. E. L.
    Zantippe's talents had enforced so well:
    Ah! if that language from thy heart arise,
    Breathe it less gently forthand veil thine eyes.
    Endymion, recollect, when Luna tried
    To cure his lovewas cured of all beside
    His follyprideand passionfor he died.
