A Song
(Absent
from
thee)-W
ilmont

Key ideas/attitude to love Idealised love and
sexual love
...

Concept of addiction
...


Wilmot uses a typically romantic
format as he writes it in a 'Song'
form and uses a fairly common
ABAB rhyme scheme, all of these
aspects can perhaps be said to
show that he doesn't truly mean
what he is trying to convey as all
the techniques used are quite
stereotypical
...
Wilmot also seems to use
this biblical imagery to make their
love seem sacred as though he
wouldn't want to lose her in the
same way he wouldn't want to lose
God

Is the speaker addressing a woman
or God?

‘Thee’ - who is it? Does Not refer to her as a lady
even
...

‘May I contented there expire’ - Knows that he
will be satisfied
...
Can he die fulfilled? Run
out of time?
‘Safe Bosom’ - only feels at home, comfortable
and safe here, assumes that someone is there
waiting for him
...


He mocked political society -John Wilmot,
Earl of Rochester
...

Had a reputation for womanising - in the
court of Charles II - very close to him
...

Realism - focused on creating a
vivid and realistic representation of
the corruption in society
...


Being compelled from his wife seek sexual encounters
...
If he
strays her again for another
sexual encounter, he'll die
unforgiven and damned
...

Love should be free from
constraint
...


Idealised love
Love and lost - pain of parting
Unrequited love
Woman with no voice - lacks
agency
Poem of sensibility - emotion is
prioritised over style
...


Rhyme scheme - ABCD - A ballad
like feel which signals that the
poem is telling a story
...

Increase of rhyme at the end
represents the ominous presence
of the priest as they go about
binding “joys and desires”
...


Reference to the 10 commandments - ‘Thou
shalt not’

William BlakeFrench revolution influenced his
writing
