In Praise of Sr Henry and Sr Phillip Sidney, Syre and Sonne Deceased
L IBIAN Psilly people, which are sed
To poyson serpents with their carcases;
Were late (as England knowes) in England bred
(If enuy be—as she's—of serpents' races)
For two, high Sidneies, father and the sonne,
That serpent slue, with deeds done in their flesh:
Not fleshly deedes, but deedes that fame haue wonne:
Which fame (yet flourishing) Time will refresh
As long as reuolution of the spheares
Lends life to Time; no time their fame out-weares.
