Charles his Waine

by Sir John Davies 1569–1626

From Complete Poems, ed. Grosart (1876)

History & Politics

Brittaine doth vnder those bright starres remaine,
Which English Shepheards, Charles his waine, doe name;
But more this Ile is Charles, his waine,
Since Charles her royall wagoner became.
For Charles, which now in Arthure's seate doth raigne,
Is our Arcturus, and doth guide the waine.
