Anne Bradstreet's Works.
Thy clemency did yerst esteem as much
The acclamations of the poor as rich,
Which makes me deem my rudeness is no wrong,
Though I resound thy praises[1] 'mongft the throng.
The Poem.
[211]
No Phœnix pen, nor Spencers poetry.
No Speeds[2] nor Cambdens[3] learned History,
Elizahs works, warrs, praise, can e're compact,
The World's the Theatre where she did act.
No memoryes nor volumes can contain
The 'leven[4] Olympiads of her happy reign:
Who was so good, so just, so learn'd so wise.
From all the Kings on earth she won the prize.
