THE AUTHOR TO HIS MUSE, by ARTHUR GORGES Poet's Biography First Line: To those that (with a squint malignant eye) Last Line: What morales aesops-fables do containe. | |||
To those that (with a squint malignant eye) At this great wracke do fleering gestures glaunce: (If such there be) my Muse doe thou replye. Those viprous harts that feast on state mischaunce, Are loathsome birds that theire owne nests defile, Whose hell-hatcht hoaps heavens vengance will beguile. But as for those, whom ignoranc so blinds, To count this Poeme Idle Ballatrye Because themselves with hood-winckt blunddringe mynds Cannot discearne a vailed misterye. Bid such dymme sighted Owles goe learne againe, What morales AEsops-fables do containe. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A PASTORALL UNFYNYSHED by ARTHUR GORGES AN ECOLOGE BETWEN A SHEPHEARDE AND A HEARDMAN by ARTHUR GORGES AN NEW YEARES GUIFT TO THE KINGS MAJESTIE by ARTHUR GORGES ANOTHER OF THE SAME ARMORIES by ARTHUR GORGES CARNATION, WHIT AND WATCHEDE by ARTHUR GORGES DIDOS TRUE COMPLAINTE by ARTHUR GORGES OF MOUNSIEUR, OR CHURCHYARDE by ARTHUR GORGES |
