When first my reason, dawning like the day,
Disperst the clouds of childish sense away ;
I God's image fram'd in that superior tow'r,
Diuinely made mine vnderstanding pow'r
To thinke upon his greatnesse, and to feare
His darts of thunder, which the mountaines teare.
And when with feeble light my soule began
T' acknowledge him a higher thing then man,
My next discourse, erected by his grace,
Conceiues him free from bounds of time or place,

Spoilt from birth,
Pampered and needy,
Being the spare an inherited curse,
Leading to actions often quite seedy.
Great aunt Margaret blazing the trail
Questionable choices aplenty,
Drugs and alcohol steering her sail
A life of regrets, vacuous and empty.
......
Come Careless, Pendrill, jovial boys.
And Humphrey of the mill,
Why, thrones and empires are but toys;
And wine is with us still.
On rebel brows the diadem may shine,
All is not lost to us while we have wine.
Misfortune brings the monarch down,
And pairs him with the lowest clown;
But such the force of mighty wine.

There once was a king
Who was pretty funny...
He wore whites tights
And was tight with his money...
His scepter was small
But his ego was big...
He wore sparkling clothes
And sometimes a wig...

Poetry was made from high value diamonds
From pleasurable oasis
And spring of fresh waters
Surrounded by bloom of roses
Poetry was made for the stars
For kings and queens
For knights and ladies of honour
For the low and highly spirited

Canto XI.
The early morn lets out the peeping day,
And strewed his path with golden marygolds;
The moon grows wanne, and starres flie all away,
Whom Lucifer locks up in wonted folds,
Till light is quencht, and heav'n in seas hath flung
The headlong day : to th' hill the shepherd's throng,
And Thirsil now began to end his task and song.
