TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARLE OF CUMBERLAND REDOUBTED Lord, in whose corageous mind The flowre of chevalry, now bloosming faire, Doth promise fruite worthy the noble kind Which of their praises have left you the haire; To you this humble present I prepare, For love of vertue and of martiall praise; To which though nobly ye inclined are, As goodlie well ye shew'd in late assaies, Yet brave ensample of long passed daies, In which trew honor yee may fashioned see, To like desire of honor may ye raise, And fill your mind with magnanimitee. Receive it, Lord, therefore, as it was ment, For honor of your name and high descent. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET TO A FRIEND, ON HIS SECOND MARRIAGE by BERNARD BARTON THE OUTLAW by MATILDA BARBARA BETHAM-EDWARDS ON THE DEATH OF REV.
