THE SPANISH ARMADA, by JOHN STILL Poet's Biography First Line: From merciless invaders Last Line: We'll hounde him back to hell. Subject(s): Spanish Armada | |||
FROM mercilesse invaders, From wicked men's device, O God! arise and helpe us, To quele owre enemies. Sinke deepe their potent navies, Their strength and corage breake, O God! arise and arm us, For Jesus Christ, his sake. Though cruel Spain and Parma With heathene legions come, O God! arise and arm us, We'll dye for owre home! We will not change our Credo For Pope, nor boke, nor bell; And yf the Devil come himself, We'll hounde him back to hell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...KING PHILIP'S MEN by AUDREY ALEXANDRA BROWN A BALLAD TO QUEEN ELIZABETH (OF THE SPANISH ARMADA) by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON ADMIRAL HOSIER'S GHOST by RICHARD GLOVER THE INVINCIBLE ARMADA, 1588 by LEWIS MORRIS (1833-1907) THE SPANISH ARMADA by ROBERT SOUTHEY QUEEN ELIZABETH by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER THE SPANISH ARMADA by ANONYMOUS QUESTION OF TIME by ANTONIO CISNEROS JOYFUL NEW BALLAD by THOMAS DELONEY |
