Thomas Yalden

Thomas Yalden (2 January 1670 – 16 July 1736) was an English poet and translator. Quotes Why like a tender girl dost thou complain!That strives to reach the mother's breast in vain;Mourns by her side, her knees embraces fast,Hangs on her robes, and interrupts her haste;Yet, when with fondness to her arms she's rais'd,Still mourns and weeps, and will not be appeas'd! "Patroclus's Request to Achilles for his Arms; Imitated from the Beginning of the Sixteenth Iliad of Homer", in Tonson's The Annual Miscellany for the Year 1694. For malice will with joy the lie receive,Report, and what it wishes true, believe. The Second Book of Ovid's Art of Love, lines 706–707.
