Note 530 — RAPE OF THE LOCK. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Spenser in his 75th Sonnet:
Not so, quoth I: let baser things devise To die in dust, but you shall live by fame: My verse your virtues rare shall eternise, And in the heavens write your glorious name.
And Cowley, in his imitation of Horace, Ode iv. 2:
He bids him live and grow in fame Among the stars he sticks his name.—Wakefield.
