TO HIS TRUE FRIEND, THE AUTHOR, MASTER SHAKERLY MARMION, by THOMAS NABBES Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: What need I rack the limbs of my weak muse Last Line: Reads but the title, and thy name below. Subject(s): Marmion, Shakerley (1602-1639) | |||
WHAT need I rack the limbs of my weak Muse, To fill a page might serve for better use? Then make some squint-ey'd reader censure me A flatterer, for justly praising thee? It is enough, (and in that cause's right Many thy former works may boldly fight) He for a good one must this piece allow, Reads but the title, and thy name below. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OF MY WORTHY FRIEND, MR.
