[When Wolsey died me seemes the sunne did set]
When
Wolsey died me seemes the sunne did set,
And that his glory with himselfe did waine;
But since his death another did beget,
Which lendes him helpe, his life to reobtaine,
One sunne did set, but two do rise againe:
Cease you that wont admire the starres alone,
Your eies haue now enough to gaze vpon.
And that his glory with himselfe did waine;
But since his death another did beget,
Which lendes him helpe, his life to reobtaine,
One sunne did set, but two do rise againe:
Cease you that wont admire the starres alone,
Your eies haue now enough to gaze vpon.
Shine Wolsey; cause the world to wonder stil,
And thou true sunne of great Apollo shine,
The world with thy conceited volumes fill,
Smoothe Tasso, and the famous Florentine,
Their garlands now to thee do both resigne,
Laura that greene hath flourish'd all this while,
Lies blasted at the thunder of thy stile.
And thou true sunne of great Apollo shine,
The world with thy conceited volumes fill,
Smoothe Tasso, and the famous Florentine,
Their garlands now to thee do both resigne,
Laura that greene hath flourish'd all this while,
Lies blasted at the thunder of thy stile.
Thomas Michelborne.
