PART I. PROVIDE therefore (ye Princes) whilst ye live, For they be daughters of Dame Memory And do those men in golden thrones repose, The sevenfold iron gates of grisly Hell, To break, and thence the souls to bring away And them immortal make, which else would die In foul forgetfulness, and nameless lie. . . . For deeds do die, however nobly done, And thoughts of men do as themselves decay ; But wise words, taught in numbers for to run, Recorded by the Muses, live for aye; Nor may with storming showers be washt away, Nor bitter-breathing winds with harmful blast, Nor age, nor envy, shall them ever waste. . . |
