GUEST,jeanclarktownsend Sir Walter Raleighs poem to his son (19) RE: Sir Walter Raleighs poem to his son 23 Nov 23

My college professor said this poem was written after Raleigh son disrespected his father's good friend, whom I think was Marlowe. Marlowe had gotten drunk and passed out, and young Raleigh (who was also probably drunk), thought it good sport to put him in a wheelbarrow and wheel him around to be laughed at. His father was furious, and wrote this fiercely pointed poem to him.
