THE ROTBANE By iv'ry path thou didst thy passage mark, Through mizzle's masque afore a rotweav'd wake, Thy bows the reaping gale of Grambletark. No twice-lost sight could fail to catch thy drake His thrusting blade thy scabbard's own to take;
>From loy'lty's pearl the sword-sons three did spring,
Each doom'd to die alone and ne'er be king.

--Wilm Waddlewit (fl. 1570s)
