ODES IN CELEBRATION OF THE DEATH OF PHILIP SIDNEY IN 1586

O blessed cuisse!

All praise to thee!

Abandoned, yet

shining ye showed

worth, sent

thy past-wearer

to his gangrenous end!

O blessed bullet!

Ye broke the

bone, the man

and the body

failed to stand -

the happiest

of happy outcomes!
