Authors:
  • Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own;
    Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind,
    And, even with something of a mother's mind,
    And no unworthy aim,
    The homely nurse doth all she can
    To make her foster child, her inmate man,
    Forget the glories he hath known
    And that imperial palace whence he came.
