EPIGRAM: TO THOMAS, LORD CHNACELLOR (EGERTON), by BEN JONSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Whilst thy weighed judgments, egerton, I hear Last Line: T'our times returned, hath made her heaven in thee. Subject(s): Egerton, Thomas. Baron Ellesmere | ||||||||
Whilst thy weighed judgments, Egerton, I hear, And know thee, then, a judge, not of one year; Whilst I behold thee live with purest hands; That no affection in thy voice commands; That still th'art present to the better cause; And no less wise, than skilful in the laws; Whilst thou art certain to thy words, once gone, As is thy conscience, which is always one: The virgin, long since fled from earth, I see, T'our times returned, hath made her heaven in thee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CELEBRATION OF CHARIS: 1.
