TO HIS FRIEND THE AUTHOR UPON HIS RICHARD, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When these, and such, their voices have employed
Last Line: Thy richard, raised in song, past pulling down.
Subject(s): Brooke, Christopher (1570-1628)


When these, and such, their voices have employed;
What place is for my testimony void?
Or, to so many, and so broad seals had,
What can one witness, and a weak one, add
To such a work, as could not need theirs? Yet
If praises, when they are full, heaping admit,
My suffrage brings thee all increase, to crown
Thy Richard, raised in song, past pulling down.
