unknown author, Tixall Poetry — To Cononell Plater… (1813)
“ As arch'd and horned as his cressents doe.Some trembling, stand amaz'd, and gazing seemeRather to Wellcome then resist the streaxne:Some eager to revenge ther private wronge,Grow weake the while the common foe grows strong.You only dare arise i' th' watchfull East,When all the world thus setts with drousy West;You in your morne can face the triple moone,And may ecclipse it ere your age is noone.You that have traveld ore, and seene, and knowneThat perfect microcosme of your owne,And all your passions to subjection brought,And settled all the houshould of each thought ”
