This stable is a prince's court,
The crib his chair of state;
The beasts are parcel of his pomp,
The wooden dish his plate.

Additional quotes by Robert Southwell

Grant me grace, O God! that I
My life may mend, sith I must die.

Not Solomon, for all his wit,
Nor Samson, though he were so strong,
No king nor person ever yet
Could 'scape, but Death laid him along.

To rise by others' fall
I deem a losing gain;
All states with others' ruins built
To ruin run amain.

This stable is a prince's court, The crib his chair of state; The beasts are parcel of his pomp, The wooden dish his plate. - Robert Southwell
