TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD OF HUNSDON, HIGH CHAMBERLAINE TO HER MAJESTY RENOWMED Lord, that for your worthinesse And noble deeds, have your deserved place High in the favour of that Emperesse, The worlds sole glory and her sexes grace; Here eke of right have you a worthie place, Both for your nearnes to that Faerie Queene, And for your owne high merit in like cace, Of which apparaunt proofe was to be seene, When that tumultuous rage and fearfull deene Of Northerne rebels ye did pacify, And their disloiall powre defaced clene, The record of enduring memory. Live, Lord, for ever in this lasting verse, That all posteritie thy honor may reherse. | Other Poems of Interest...AMORETTI: 15 by EDMUND SPENSER AMORETTI: 19 by EDMUND SPENSER AMORETTI: 30 by EDMUND SPENSER AMORETTI: 34 by EDMUND SPENSER AMORETTI: 37 by EDMUND SPENSER AMORETTI: 64 by EDMUND SPENSER AMORETTI: 65 by EDMUND SPENSER AMORETTI: 68 by EDMUND SPENSER |
