To the Right Honorable, Nicholas, Lord St. Lawrence, Baron of Houth

Noting your vertues with your dignity,
Innated Faith exprest by Piety,
Cherisht by Hope by Charity set forth,
Heroickly that glister in your worth:
On Morall vertues nobly shining, and
Letting each know, you a true Hero stand,
Acting them bravely with a grace divine,
She all will grant you can a cleere sainct line ,

See cleerenesse in you, which resplendent light
Admitteth easily doth shine most bright;
In whom but looke with a judicious eye,
Nothing but cleerenesse you at all can spy:
Cleere soule within, body compleat without,
True cleere Sainct-line , who is it you can doubt?

Let Sainst linesse be view'd, and therein see
A sted a fresh true Sainctlinesse in thee,
With such a splendent cleerenesse so set forth,
Rightly, cleere Sainct , we must esteeme your worth
Ensued Sir from some most cleere Sainct-line ,
Naturally you being so divine;
Cherish your vertues, and let all men know,
Excellently you cleere Sainct-line can shew .
