John Vicars Poems

True Imitation of mens worthy Deedes
From Loue of them (as I suppose) proceedes
Yet many-times Ambitious Emulation!
...

Antèus-like I long haue fought a fight
But, find in conflict a Superiour might.
Oft haue I wrastled, but still foild and fell'd
...

Great Britaines great Hope, Parents sprouting Vine,
Fathers and Mothers Halfe, by Princely Line,
Wel-nigh vn-pattern'd Patterne of rare Parts,
...

O LAUD the Lord with invocation
Amidst his holy congregation ;
Shew forth his works, set forth his fame,
Sing praise, sing praise unto his name ;
...
