The Concubine

The Concubine is a poem written by William Julius Mickle in 1767. It is divided into two cantos and is written in the style of Edmund Spenser. The poem tells the story of a concubine who is caught between her love for a nobleman and her duty to the king. The concubine is torn between her loyalty to her lover and her desire to do what is right for her country. The poem is filled with vivid imagery and rich language, and it explores themes of love, duty, and loyalty. Mickle's use of Spenserian verse adds to the poem's grandeur and makes it a classic of English literature. The Concubine is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of English poetry and the themes that have captivated readers for centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
