Rudyard Kipling - A Pageant of ElizabethRudyard Kipling - A Pageant of Elizabeth
Work rating: Low


Like Princes crowned they bore them—      Like Demi-Gods they wrought,    When the New World lay before them       In headlong fact and thought.                     Fate and their foemen proved them       Above all meed of praise,     And Gloriana loved them,       And Shakespeare wrote them plays! Now Valour, Youth, and Life`s delight break forth  In flames of wondrous deed, and thought sublime—- Lightly to mould new worlds or lightly loose  Words that shall shake and shape all after-time! Giants with giants, wits with wits engage,  And England-England-England takes the breath Of morning, body and soul, till the great Age  Fulfills in one great chord:—Elizabeth!
