Social Commentaries
To our Prince CHARLES
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book I
Social Commentaries
RIch summe of all our hopes on Earth,
Great Heire of England, at your birth
Heaven put his cloudy tresses by,
And smil'd on us with open skie,
Whilst all the Planets seem'd to throw
Their golden radiance at your brow.
A cleare presage, that favours shall
From Heaven upon your Highnesse fall,
And thence on us reflecting, glance
On the glibbe Ocean into France.
