Eleg. 35.
[Me thought e'er-while I saw Prince Henri's Armes]
Me thought e'er-while I saw Prince Henri's ArmesAdvanc'd above the Capitoll of Rome,
And his keen blade, in spight of steele or charmes,
Give many mighty enemies their doom;
Yea, I had many hopes, but now I see,
They are ordain'd to be anothers task,
Yet of the Stewards line a branch shall be,
T'advance beyond the Alpes his plumed Cask;
Then I perhaps that now tune dolefull laies,
303
To sing at least some petty Captains praise:
Mean-while I will some other work assume.
Or rather, sith my hopefulst Patron's dead,
Go to some desart and there hide my head.
