Poet Analysis

First Line: STAND BY THE MAGICK OF MY POWERFULL RHYMES
Last Line: BECAUSE BEGOT OF MY IMMORTALL SEED.

Stand by the Magick of my powerfull Rhymes
'Gainst all the indignation of the Times.
Age shall not wrong thee; or one jot abate
Of thy both Great, and everlasting fate.
While others perish, here's thy life decreed
Because begot of my Immortall seed.
