STIRLING, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, Earl of: Hughe hosts of thoughts imbattled in my brest - ZaunköniG - 07.01.2011 STIRLING, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, Earl of 1567 - 1640 Schottland / Canada Hughe hosts of thoughts imbattled in my brest, Are ever buised with intestine warres, And like to Cadmus earth-borne troupes at jarres, Have spoil'd my soule of peace, themselves of rest. Thus forc'd to reape such seed as I have sowne, I (having interest in this doubtfull strife) Hope much, feare more, doubt most, unhappie life. What ever side prevaile, I'm still orethrowne: O neither life nor death! ô both, but bad Imparadiz'd, whiles in mine owne conceit, My fancies straight againe imbroyle my state, And in a moment make me glad and sad. Thus neither yeeling quite to this nor that, I live, I die, I do I wot not what. |
