Oh name for ever sad! for ever dear! Still breath’d in sighs still usher’d with a tear I tremble too where’er my own I find Some dire misfortune follows close behind Line after line my gushing eyes o’erflow Led through a sad variety of woe Now warm in love now with’ring in thy bloom Lost in a convent’s solitary gloom! In these deep solitudes and awful cells Where heav’nly-pensive contemplation dwells And ever-musing melancholy reigns What means this tumult in a vestal’s veins? Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat? Why feels my heart its long-forgotten heat? Yet, yet I love!—From Abelard it came And Eloisa yet must kiss the name Dear fatal name O write it not my hand—the name appears Already written—wash it out my tears KEYWORDS Alexander Pope lecture Alexander Pope lecture Alexander Pope lecture Alexander Pope lecture Alexander Pope lecture Alexander Pope lecture Pope lecture Alexander Pope Eloisa to Abelard Pope Verse Epistle Alexander Pope Epistle Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Poetry Alexander Pope Immediacy Eloisa to Abelard Epistle Alexander Pope Close Reading Alexander Pope Literary Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Close Reading Eloisa to Abelard Literary Analysis Alexander Pope Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Lecture Epistolary Writing Alexander Pope Poetry Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Writing to the Moment Verse Epistle Immediacy Epistolary Analysis of Alexander Pope Lecture Alexander Pope Lecture Eloisa to Abelard Poetry Analysis Alexander Pope Alexander Pope Eloisa to Abelard Pope Verse Epistle Alexander Pope Epistle Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Poetry Alexander Pope Immediacy Eloisa to Abelard Epistle Alexander Pope Close Reading Alexander Pope Literary Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Close Reading Eloisa to Abelard Literary Analysis Alexander Pope Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Lecture Epistolary Writing Alexander Pope Poetry Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Writing to the Moment Verse Epistle Immediacy Epistolary Analysis of Alexander Pope Lecture Alexander Pope Lecture Eloisa to Abelard Poetry Analysis Alexander Pope Alexander Pope Eloisa to Abelard Pope Verse Epistle Alexander Pope Epistle Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Poetry Alexander Pope Immediacy Eloisa to Abelard Epistle Alexander Pope Close Reading Alexander Pope Literary Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Close Reading Eloisa to Abelard Literary Analysis Alexander Pope Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Lecture Epistolary Writing Alexander Pope Poetry Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Writing to the Moment Verse Epistle Immediacy Epistolary Analysis of Alexander Pope Lecture Alexander Pope Lecture Eloisa to Abelard Poetry Analysis Alexander Pope Alexander Pope Eloisa to Abelard Pope Verse Epistle Alexander Pope Epistle Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Poetry Alexander Pope Immediacy Eloisa to Abelard Epistle Alexander Pope Close Reading Alexander Pope Literary Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Close Reading Eloisa to Abelard Literary Analysis Alexander Pope Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Lecture Epistolary Writing Alexander Pope Poetry Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Writing to the Moment Verse Epistle Immediacy Epistolary Analysis of Alexander Pope Lecture Alexander Pope Lecture Eloisa to Abelard Poetry Analysis Alexander Pope Alexander Pope Eloisa to Abelard Pope Verse Epistle Alexander Pope Epistle Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Poetry Alexander Pope Immediacy Eloisa to Abelard Epistle Alexander Pope Close Reading Alexander Pope Literary Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Close Reading Eloisa to Abelard Literary Analysis Alexander Pope Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Lecture Epistolary Writing Alexander Pope Poetry Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Writing to the Moment Verse Epistle Immediacy Epistolary Analysis of Alexander Pope Lecture Alexander Pope Lecture Eloisa to Abelard Poetry Analysis Alexander Pope Alexander Pope Eloisa to Abelard Pope Verse Epistle Alexander Pope Epistle Writing to the Moment Alexander Pope Poetry Alexander Pope Immediacy Eloisa to Abelard Epistle Pope Close Reading Alexander Pope Literary Analysis Eloisa to Abelard Close Reading Eloisa to Abelard Literary Analysis Alexander Pope
