Blair Worden - A Book of Friendship

TOM HOLT

From Dryden to Munday, from Vanbrugh to Behn, From Heywood and Hawkesworth to Head, From Chettle and Cibber to Susan Centlivre - Every one of their works he has read.

As vital as Edgehill and Naseby to him Are the battles of willow and leather; And if you enquire where his loyalties lie, Three simple words – Blackpool for ever!

His learning, discernment, kind heart, gentle wit Are my song’s unambiguous burden. Ere I start to unravel (have thirst, so must travel) Three cheers for our hero, Blair Worden!
