Additional quotes by Michael Drayton

Dear, why should you command me to my rest,
When now the night doth summon all to sleep?
Methinks this time becometh lovers best;
Night was ordain'd together friends to keep.

For that fine madness still he did retain
Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.

Oh, when shall English men
With such acts fill a pen,
Or England breed again
Such a King Harry?
