SONS born of many a loyal Muse to Ben, All true-begotten, warm with wine or ale, Bright from the broad light of his presence, Hail! Prince Randolph, nighest his throne of all his men, Being highest in spirit and heart who hailed him then King, nor might other spread so blithe a sail: Cartwright, a soul pent in with narrower pale, Praised of thy sire for manful might of pen: Marmion, whose verse keeps alway keen and fine The perfume of their Apollonian wine Who shared with that stout sire of all and thee The exuberant chalice of his echoing shrine: Is not your praise writ broad in gold which he Inscribed, that all who praise his name should see? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PRELUDE; FOR GEOFFREY GORER by EDITH SITWELL HEROD'S LAMENT FOR MARIAMNE by GEORGE GORDON BYRON SELF-COMMUNING by CHARLES BAUDELAIRE THE FALL OF THE YEAR by EMIL BLEMONT NATALIA'S RESURRECTION: 15 by WILFRID SCAWEN BLUNT IMPULSIVE DIALOGUE by MAXWELL BODENHEIM LOVE'S POWER by WINIFRED LANGWORTHY BROWN |
