THE CONCLUSION TO THE KINGS MAJESTIE, by ARTHUR GORGES Poet's Biography First Line: Of manie now that sound with hopes consort Last Line: For constant faith draws favour from the skyes. Subject(s): James I, King Of England (1566-1625) | ||||||||
Of manie now that sound with hopes consort Your wisdome, bountie, and peace blessed raigne My skill is least but of the most importe Because not schoold by favors, guifts, or gaine. And that which more approves my truthfull layes To sweet my tunes, I straine not flatteries stringe But hould that temper in your Royall prayse That long I did, before you were my Kinge. Soe did I vertue for it self regard With truth unstaind, that hath the test indurd Lovinge my kinge without my kings reward And yet such Zeale, through wrong lives still obscurde But hope dyes not, dispaire it doth dispyse For constant faith draws favour from the skyes. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE LORD HAYES: TO JAMES KING OF BRITAIN by THOMAS CAMPION TO THE MOST SCARED KING JAMES by THOMAS CAMPION AN NEW YEARES GUIFT TO THE KINGS MAJESTIE by ARTHUR GORGES A PANEGYRE, ON HAPPY ENTRANCE OF JAMES, OUR SOVEREIGN TO PARLIAMENT by BEN JONSON BEN JONSON'S GRACE BEFORE KING JAMES by BEN JONSON EPIGRAM: TO KNG JAMES by BEN JONSON TO KING JAMES; UPON THE HAPPY FALSE RUMOUR OF HIS DEATH by BEN JONSON A SATIRE WRITTEN TO KING JAMES I, SELECTION by GEORGE WITHER A PASTORALL UNFYNYSHED by ARTHUR GORGES AN ECOLOGE BETWEN A SHEPHEARDE AND A HEARDMAN by ARTHUR GORGES |
