Poet Analysis

First Line: YOU BELLENDENE, GRIFFIN, AND LITTLE LA PELL
Last Line: AND SEND WHAT ARGYLE, WOULD HE WRITE, MIGHT HAVE WRIT.
Subject(s): COURTS & COURTIERS;
You Bellendene, Griffin, and little La Pell,
By G--d you all lie like the D--l in Hell;
To say that at Court there's a Dearth of all Wit,
And send what Argyle, would he write, might have writ.
