AN EPIGRAM

by

THOMAS CAMPION


Merlin, the great King Arthur being slaine,
Foretould that he should come to life againe,
And long time after weild great Brittaines state
More powerfull ten-fould, and more fortunate.
   Prophet, 'tis true, and well we find the same,
   Save onely that thou didst mistake the name.
