UPON CLUNN, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: A rowle of parchment clunn about hime beares
Last Line: When as his owne still out at elboes is?


A rowle of parchment clunn about him beares,
Charg'd with the Armes of all his Ancestors:
And seems halfe ravisht, when he looks upon
That Bar, this Bend; that Fess, this Cheveron;
This Manch, that Moone; this Martlet, and that Mound;
This counterchange of Perle and Diamond.
What joy can Clun have in that Coat, or this,
When as his owne still out at elboes is?
