Murray, Sir David: Stay passenger and with relending looke - ZaunköniG - 08.01.2011
Sir David Murray
1567 - 1629
Stay passenger and with relending looke,
Behold heere Bellizarius, I pray,
Whom never-constant fortune, changing aye,
Even at the top of greatnesse quite forsooke,
And, which is wondrous, in a moment tooke
Mee from the hight of an imperiall sway,
And plac'd me heere, blind begging by this way,
Whose greatnesse sometime scarce the world could brook.
And while thou daignes thy pittifull aspect,
Ah sorrow not so much my fortunes past,
As I beseech thee to bewaile this last!
That from such honour abjectlie deject,
I yet am forc'd a spectacle to live,
Glad to receive the meanest almes thou't give.
