OBSERVATIONS IN THE ART OF ENGLISH POESY: 4 by THOMAS CAMPION

Poet Analysis

First Line: GREATEST IN THY WARS
Last Line: WORTHY HALF THY FAME.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS;
@3Greatest in thy wars,
Greater in thy peace,
Dread Elizabeth;
Our muse only truth,
Figments cannot use,
Thy rich name to deck
That itself adorns:
But should now this age
Let all poesy feign,
Feigning poesy could
Nothing feign at all
Worthy half thy fame.@1
