VERSES UPON THE SAID EARLES LUTE by EDMUND SPENSER

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHILST VITALL SAPP DID MAKE ME SPRING
Last Line: THE MUSES NINE THIS VOICE DID SEND.
Subject(s): BOYLE, RICHARD, EARL OF CORK,(1566-1643); LUTES;
Whilst vitall sapp did make me spring,
And leafe and bough did flourish brave,
I then was dumbe and could not sing,
Ne had the voice which now I have.
But when the axe my life did end,
The Muses nine this voice did send.
