A web-based edition of early seventeenth-century political poetry from manuscript sources. It brings into the public domain over 350 poems, many of which have never before been published.
I5 Heere lyes the man whose death and life
Notes. This poem’s ambivalence is shared by many other contemporary assessments of Ralegh and, like many of them, registers the positive impact of Ralegh’s scaffold performance.
Heere lyes the man whose death and life
Left in the world an endles strife
Twixt Shame & Honor, Hate & Love
Which of their Powers should greatest prove
In Rawleighs Name each had his turne
5That in his life, this in his Urne.
