Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears
| ← Concert report for MUSI 3300 | Cuba: A new History → |
Ben Johnson’s poem slow, slow, fresh fount shows a persona who ha fallen in love with a girl that he even cries for her to accept him as seen in the first line ‘keep time with my salt tears’. He uses metaphor to refer the flow of tears as a spring as can be seen in line two that ‘yet slowly, yet o faintly gentle springs’. He actually calls flow of tear spring meaning the flow was steady and consistent.
In the first line there is alliteration in the words ‘fresh fount’. This basically adds to the musicality of the poem making it more interesting and appealing to the ears. The persona says that when the girl sings, she doesn’t consider his request. This can be seen in the fourth line ‘woe weeps out her division when she sings’. Meaning, when she speaks, she is against his idea of having her and it hurts him because he says ‘droop herbs and flowers fall grief in showers’. This lines show how the persona’s ego is crushed when he faces the rejection. This is brought out clearly using an extended metaphor in the above lines.
Paradox of the line ‘our beauties are not ours’ which are words from the person show how disillusioned he has become about life. Using the simile of likening himself to a melting snow in the third last line ‘like melting snow upon some craggy hill’ further illustrates how he has lost hope in life and particularly love life. He refers to the lady as nature’s pride that has now withered. This can be seen in the last line of the poem. The withering brings out the feeling that the person has given up on the girl because he can never get her. This is metaphorical.
The poet has also employed middle and end rhymes in the poem to add to the musicality of the poem. For example the words tears and bears, springs and sings, flowers and showers, hill and daffodil form a rhyme scheme. This pattern brings out the musicality in the poem making it very interesting to read and listen to it. The middle rhymes include words like fount and yet.
Repetition has also been used by the poet. For example the words ‘slow’ and ‘drop’ have been repeated mainly to put emphasize on how the persona was feeling at that moment. Personification has also been used. He has given human attributes to springs like they have feelings. Flowers and herbs have also been given the capability to experience grief.

I had a hard time articulating what my professor wanted, so I was able to speak straight to my writer. After I had explained a little bit, I could tell he understood everything. He then took the ball and ran with it, so to speak. He wrote my paper in two days and it was the picture of perfection! I am very grateful that he knew what to do and how to do it so perfectly. |

One of the things that I appreciate most about EssaysEmpire.com, is that they don’t resell your paper. Only you own it, if you hire them to write something. Other writing services that I have used, just circulate the same paper over and over, and if you get caught turning one in, too bad. You are expelled. EssaysEmpire.com will even give you a plagiarism report after they run it through their anti-plagiarism check. Such details set EssaysEmpire.com above the rest. |

I don’t see how anyone could write a paper about something as boring as the psychology of the two year old, could make it sound so interesting, but your writers managed to pull it off. Thank you for putting forth such a concerted effort to do a good job. I really appreciate it. I will use your service again |

I was quite satisfied with the results of my paper order. EssaysEmpire.com sure has some good writers! I thought it might just be some college kids who were writing in their spare time to earn some extra bucks. No! EssaysEmpire.com hires legitimate writers. They all seem to be well educated and intelligent, too. My paper was terrific! |

I am completely satisfied with the paper I purchased from your company. I only wish I had known about you last year when I took an F grade for not being able to complete a paper on time. The work you did was marvelous. Whenever I find myself falling behind in my school work, I will be sure to pass along some of my more difficult written assignments to you |

There are four things that I look for in a good writing service. #1. They have to be fast. A good writing service won’t miss an important deadline. #2. A good writing service will let customers actually talk to the writer who is working on their customer’s papers, so the customer can work out important details. #3. A good writing service will have a user-friendly website that is easy for the customer to use and #4, a good writing service will offer quality guarantees. EssaysEmpire.com meets all of this criteria and more. EssaysEmpire.com is the best writing service and has the reputation to prove it. I wouldn’t even consider using another writing service since experiencing the excellence that is EssaysEmpire.com! |

I accidentally read the wrong chapters for my history assignment. Therefore, when it came down to the wire and I needed to hand in my history paper, I had to reach out for help very quickly. Your writers were able to put something together for me so fast! I couldn’t believe it! I handed the paper in and got a very high score on it. I was stunned! Thank you so much for your help! |
