Additional quotes by Michael Drayton

The coast was clear.

Victor I will remain
Or on this earth lie slain,
Never shall she sustain
Loss to redeem me.

When faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
And innocence is closing up his eyes,
Now if thou wouldst, when all have given him over,
From death to life thou might’st him yet recover.

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