Icarus

WHile with audacious Wings
I cleav'd th…se airy Waies,
And fill'd (a Monster new) with Dread and Feares,
The feathered People and their Eagle Kings:
Dazell'd with Phoebus Rayes,
And charmed with the Musick of the Spheares,
When Quills could move no more and force did faile,
Though down I fell from Heavens high azure bounds:
Yet doth Renowne my Losses countervaile,
For still the Shore my brave attempt resounds.
A Sea an Element doth beare my Name,
What Mortalls Tombe's so great in Place or Fame.
