Michael Drayton - Sonnet XXV: O Why Should Nature

2014-11-07 9 Dailymotion

O why should Nature niggardly restrain <br />That foreign nations relish not our tongue? <br />Else should my lines glide on the waves of Rhene <br />And crown the Pyrens with my living song. <br />But, bounded thus, to Scotland get you forth, <br />Thence take you wing unto the Orcades; <br />There let my verse get glory in the North, <br />Making my sighs to thaw the frozen seas; <br />And let the Bards within that Irish isle, <br />To whom my Muse with fiery wing shall pass, <br />Call back the stiff-neck'd rebels from exile, <br />And mollify the slaught'ring Gallowglass; <br />And when my flowing numbers they rehearse, <br />Let wolves and bears be charmed with my verse.<br /><br />Michael Drayton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-xxv-o-why-should-nature/
