Lo, my book thinks to look Time's leaguer down, <br />Under the banner of your spread renown! <br />Or if these levies of impuissant rhyme <br />Fall to the overthrow of assaulting Time, <br />Yet this one page shall fend oblivious shame, <br />Armed with your crested and prevailing Name.<br /><br />Francis Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dedication-to-coventry-patmore/
