ON SIR JOHN SUCKLING, HIS PICTURES AND POEMS by THOMAS STANLEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: SUCKLING, WHOSE NUMBERS COULD INVITE
Last Line: HIS FORM, BY HIS OWN PEN, HIS MIND.
Subject(s): POETRY & POETS; PORTRAITS; SUCKLING, JOHN (1609-1642);
SUCKLING, whose numbers could invite
Alike to wonder and delight,
And with new spirit did inspire
The Thespian scene and Delphic lyre,
Is thus express'd in either part,
Above the humble reach of Art.
Drawn by the pencil, here you find
His form, by his own pen, his mind.
