AN EPITAPH UPON DOCTOR BROOKE, by RICHARD CRASHAWPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: A brooke whose streame so great, so good Last Line: The muses with their teares supply. Subject(s): Brooke, Samuel (d. 1631)
A Brooke whose streame so great, so good, Was lov'd, was honour'd as a flood: Whose Bankes the Muses dwelt upon, More then their owne Helicon; Here at length, hath gladly found A quiet passage under ground; Meane while his loved bankes now dry, The Muses with their teares supply.
