'From his honoured friend William Davenant'	A
	-
Poet of mighty power I fain	B
Would court the muse that honoured thee	C
And like Elisha's spirit gain	B
A part of thy intensity	C
And share the mantle which she flung	D
Around thee when thy lyre was strung	D
	-
Though faction's scorn at first did shun	E
With coldness thy inspired song	F
Though clouds of malice passed thy sun	E
They could not hide it long	F
Its brightness soon exhaled away	G
Dank night and gained eternal day	G
	-
The critics' wrath did darkly frown	H
Upon thy muse's mighty lay	G
But blasts that break the blossom down	H
Do only stir the bay	G
And thine shall flourish green and long	F
With the eternity of song	F
	-
Thy genius saw in quiet mood	A
Gilt fashion's follies pass thee by	I
And like the monarch of the wood	A
Towered oer it to the sky	I
Where thou couldst sing of other spheres	J
And feel the fame of future years	J
	-
Though bitter sneers and stinging scorns	K
Did throng the muse's dangerous way	G
Thy powers were past such little thorns	K
They gave thee no dismay	G
The scoffer's insult passed thee by	I
Thou smild'st and mad'st him no reply	I
	-
Envy will gnaw its heart away	G
To see thy genius gather root	A
And as its flowers their sweets display	G
Scorn's malice shall be mute	A
Hornets that summer warmed to fly	I
Shall at the death of summer die	I
	-
Though friendly praise hath but its hour	L
And little praise with thee hath been	M
The bay may lose its summer flower	L
But still its leaves are green	N
And thine whose buds are on the shoot	A
Shall only fade to change to fruit	A
	-
Fame lives not in the breath of words	O
In public praises' hue and cry	I
The music of these summer birds	O
Is silent in a winter sky	I
When thine shall live and flourish on	P
Oer wrecks where crowds of fames are gone	Q
	-
The ivy shuns the city wall	R
When busy clamorous crowds intrude	A
And climbs the desolated hall	R
In silent solitude	A
The time worn arch the fallen dome	S
Are roots for its eternal home	S
	-
The bard his glory neer receives	T
Where summer's common flowers are seen	N
But winter finds it when she leaves	T
The laurel only green	N
And time from that eternal tree	C
Shall weave a wreath to honour thee	C
	-
A sunny wreath for poets meet	A
From Helicon's immortal soil	U
Where sacred Time with pilgrim feet	A
Walks forth to worship not to spoil	U
A wreath which Fame creates and bears	V
And deathless genius only heirs	V
	-
Nought but thy ashes shall expire	W
Thy genius at thy obsequies	V
Shall kindle up its living fire	L
And light the muse's skies	V
Ay it shall rise and shine and be	C
A sun in song's posterity	C
