Sir R. F. upon this Dramatick Romance, Paraphrased by him during his Confinement to Tankersly Park in York-shire, by Oliver, after the Battail of Worcester, in which he was taken Prisoner, serving His Majesty (whom God preserve) as Secretary of State.
Time was when I, a Pilgrim of the Seas,
When I, 'midst noise of Camps, and Courts Dis-ease,
Purloin'd some Hours, to Charm rude Cares with Verse,
Which flame of FAITHFUL SHEPHERD did rehearse:
When I, 'midst noise of Camps, and Courts Dis-ease,
Purloin'd some Hours, to Charm rude Cares with Verse,
Which flame of FAITHFUL SHEPHERD did rehearse:
But now restrain'd from Sea, from Camp, from Court,
And by a Tempest blown into a Port;
I raise my thoughts to Muze on Higher Things,
And Eccho Arms and Loves of Queens and Kings:
And by a Tempest blown into a Port;
I raise my thoughts to Muze on Higher Things,
And Eccho Arms and Loves of Queens and Kings:
Which Queens (despising Crowns and Hymen's Band)
Would neither Men Obey, nor Men Command.
Great Pleasure from rough Seas to see the Shore!
Or from firm Land to hear the Billows Roare.
Would neither Men Obey, nor Men Command.
Great Pleasure from rough Seas to see the Shore!
Or from firm Land to hear the Billows Roare.
