A Farewell to Arms is an occasional sonnet written by George Peele. It is the coda of Peele's Polyhymnia, written for the Accession Day tilt of 1590. The prior thirteen parts of Polyhymnia are each blank verse descriptions of pairs of contestants with vague impressions of their combat, though Peele does not name the victors. A Farewell to Arms then commemorates the tenure and retirement of Sir Henry Lee as the Queen's Champion. Lee had been the Queen's Champion since the first Accession Day tilts, possibly as early as 1559. In 1590 the position passed to the Earl of Cumberland.

text
  • My golden locks Time hath to silver turnd. O Time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing! My youth 'gainst time and age hath ever spurnd, But spurnd in vain. Youth waneith by increasing. Beauty, strength, youth, are flowers but fading seen, Duty, faith, love, are roots, and ever green. My Helmet now shall make a hive for bees And lovers' sonnets turne to holy Psalms. A man at Armes must now serve on his knees, And feed on pray'rs, that are Age his alms. But though from Court to Cottage I depart, My Saint is sure of mine unspotted heart. And when I saddest sits in homely cell, I'll teach my Swaines this Carrol for a song. Blest be the hearts that wish my Sovereigne well, Curs'd be the souls that thinke her any wrong. Goddess, vouchsafe this aged man his right To be your Beadsman now that was your knight. (en)
