On the Death of a Noble Lady

Topics: classic

Time, when thou shalt bring again         Pallas from the Trojan plain,         Portia from the Roman's hall,         Brynhild from the fiery wall,         Eleanor, whose fearless breath         Drew the venom'd fangs of Death,         And Philippa doubly brave         Or to conquer or to save--         When thou shalt on one bestow         All their grace and all their glow,         All their strength and all their state,         All their passion pure and great,         Some far age may honour then         Such another queen of men.
