SONS born of many a loyal Muse to Ben, All true-begotten, warm with wine or ale, Bright from the broad light of his presence, Hail! Prince Randolph, nighest his throne of all his men, Being highest in spirit and heart who hailed him then King, nor might other spread so blithe a sail: Cartwright, a soul pent in with narrower pale, Praised of thy sire for manful might of pen: Marmion, whose verse keeps alway keen and fine The perfume of their Apollonian wine Who shared with that stout sire of all and thee The exuberant chalice of his echoing shrine: Is not your praise writ broad in gold which he Inscribed, that all who praise his name should see? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RAILWAY DREAMINGS by ALEXANDER ANDERSON STANZAS IN THE MEMORY OF EDWARD QUILLINAN, ESQ. by MATTHEW ARNOLD NATALITIUM: MARTIJ 13, 1645 by JOSEPH BEAUMONT LARABELLE; CANTO THIRD by LEVI BISHOP A NEW PILGRIMAGE: 28 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT SUBWAY by CLARA EXLINE BOCKOVEN PRESIDENTIAL COTILLION by JOHN GARDINER CALKINS BRAINARD |
