[Conceits true Storer, when I view'd of late]
Conceits true Storer, when I view'd of late,
Thy new-borne Wolsey, while he did remaine
As in the matrice, yet inanimate,
An imperfected embrion of thy braine.
Thy new-borne Wolsey, while he did remaine
As in the matrice, yet inanimate,
An imperfected embrion of thy braine.
O how my feareful thoughts misaugured,
Least Wolsey like the worke himselfe did frame,
Should euer thus stand inaccomplished,
Which none dare end, saue who began the same!
Least Wolsey like the worke himselfe did frame,
Should euer thus stand inaccomplished,
Which none dare end, saue who began the same!
But now, although thy worke be so perfected,
As that no prowder vaunting Muse can mend it,
And though the stately frame by him erected,
Lies still imperfect, while no hand dares end it.
Yet thine thus ended doth with his agree,
That thine, like his, shall neuer ended be.
As that no prowder vaunting Muse can mend it,
And though the stately frame by him erected,
Lies still imperfect, while no hand dares end it.
Yet thine thus ended doth with his agree,
That thine, like his, shall neuer ended be.
