A VOW TO MARS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Store of courage to me grant
Last Line: Offer'd up a wolfe to thee.
Subject(s): War


Store of courage to me grant,
Now I'm turn'd a combatant:
Helpe me so, that I my shield,
(Fighting) lose not in the field.
That's the greatest shame of all
That in warfare can befall.
Do but this; and there shall be
Offer'd up a Wolfe to thee.
