HONOURS ARE HINDRANCES, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Give me honours: what are these
Last Line: To my heaven lesse run, then flie.


Give me Honours: what are these,
But the pleasing hindrances?
Stiles, and stops, and stayes, that come
In the way 'twixt me, and home:
Cleer the walk, and then shall I
To my heaven lesse run, then flie.
