Classic Poem

To the Right Honourable, James, Marques Hamilton, Earle of Arran and Cambridge

I see your honour, Marques honoured,
And you may very well hold up your head,
Marques admired, sith you are on by ,
Entred aloft, on noble dignity;
So very well indeed may you seemtal ,

Having transcendent honours you befall,
A Marques high, in S COTLAND of great blood,
Made Earle of A RRAN , and of C AMBRIDGE Lord,
Invested in three severall Baronies,
Letting your honour yet still higher rise,
The Horses Master to his Majestie,
Of G EORGE a Knight you are heroikly,
Nor are you from the Privie Counsell barr'd,
Ever tal may you seem thus by prefer'd.English
