from An Hymn of the Fairest Fair
Sad queen of silence, I ne'er see thy face
To wax, or wane, or shine with a full grace,
But straight amazed on man I think, each day
His state who changeth, or, if he find stay,
It is in dreary anguish, cares, and pains,
And of his labours death is all the gains.
Immortal monarch, can so fond a thought
Lodge in my breast, as to trust thou first brought
Here in Earth's shady cloister wretched man,
To suck the air of woe, to spend life's span
'Midst sighs and plaints, a stranger unto mirth?
To give himself his death, rebuking birth?
By sense and wit of crëatures made king,
By sense and wit to live their underling?
– William Drummond of Hawthornden (1630)
