TO THE KING OF NAVARRE, by CLEMENT MAROT Poem Explanation Poet's Biography First Line: My second king! A mare of no great worth Last Line: To give to the first fool he chance to meet. | |||
MY second King! A mare of no great worth I own; wellbred enough, but old, like me: At least long years have vanished since her birth, Whence is she weak, and makes her master dree. Now the poor beast, from many signs I see, Far as Narbonne will ne'er get o'er the ground. If you should give me one that's good and sound, How think you Marot will your largesse greet? As gladly as his own he will be bound To give to the first fool he chance to meet. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LOVE-LESSON by CLEMENT MAROT ABOUT HIMSELF (1) by CLEMENT MAROT ABOUT HIMSELF (2) by CLEMENT MAROT AFTER AN EPIGRAM OF CLEMENT MAROT by CLEMENT MAROT BALLADE OF A FRIAR by CLEMENT MAROT BALLADE OF MAYE AND VIRTUE by CLEMENT MAROT DIZAIN IN ANSWER TO THE FOREGOING by CLEMENT MAROT EPIGRAM: 85.
