Icarus
Whilst with audacious wings
I sprang those airy ways
And filled (a monster new) with dread and fears
The feathered people and their eagle kings,
Dazzled with Phoebus' rays
And charmèd with the music of the spheres,
When pennes could move no more and force did fail
I measured by a fall those lofty bounds;
Yet doth renown my losses countervail,
For still the shore my brave attempt resounds:
A sea, an element doth bear my name,
Who hath so vast a tomb in place, or fame?
– William Drummond of Hawthornden (1616)
