This man was a writer in the 1500-1600 in England.He has many works including Arcadia,Astrophel and Stella,The Defence of Poesy,The Lady of May,certain sonnets,and Psalms 1-9 and 10 and 19.It is so interesting to me that he wrote some of the psalms.The work Arcadia is a long pastoral romance.Astrophel and stella includes 108 sonnets and 11 songs that are influnced by petrarchan conventions.
Domine, quid multiplici? I. LORD, how do they encrease That hatefull never cease To breed my grievous trouble? How many ones there be, That all against poor me Their numbrous strength redouble? 2. Even multitudes be they That to my soul do say, No help for you remaineth In God, on whom you build. Yet, Lord, Thou art my shield, In Thee my glory raigneth. 3. The Lord lifts vp my head, To Him my voyce I spread; From holy hill He heard me: I layd me down and slept, While He me safely kept, And safe from sleep I rear'd me. 4. I will not be afraid Though legions round be layd, Which all against me gather: I say no more but this, Vp, Lord, now time it is; Help me, my God and Father! 5. For Thou, with cruel blowes On jaw-bone of my foes, My causeless wrongs hast wroken; Thou, those men's teeth which byte, Venom'd with godless spight, Hast in their malice broken. 6. Salvation doth belong Unto the Lord most strong; For He alone defendeth: And on those blessèd same Which beare His people's name, His blessing He extendeth. |
