TO HIS FRIEND THE AUTHOR UPON HIS RICHARD, by BEN JONSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When these, and such, their voices have employed Last Line: Thy richard, raised in song, past pulling down. Subject(s): Brooke, Christopher (1570-1628) | ||||||||
When these, and such, their voices have employed; What place is for my testimony void? Or, to so many, and so broad seals had, What can one witness, and a weak one, add To such a work, as could not need theirs? Yet If praises, when they are full, heaping admit, My suffrage brings thee all increase, to crown Thy Richard, raised in song, past pulling down. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SHEPHERD'S PIPE: FIFTH ECLOGUE; TO HIS FRIEND CHRISTOPHER BROOKE by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) TO HIS WORTHY FRIEND AND INGENIOUS FRIEND, THE AUTHOR by WILLIAM BROWNE (1591-1643) THE SHEPHERD'S HUNTING: THE FIFTH EGLOGUE by GEORGE WITHER THE SHEPHERD'S HUNTING: THE FOURTH EGLOGUE by GEORGE WITHER THE SHEPHERD'S HUNTING: THE SECOND EGLOGUE by GEORGE WITHER THE SHEPHERD'S HUNTING: THE THIRD EGLOGUE by GEORGE WITHER STORM; TO MR.
