To the Right Honourable John, Earle of Bridgewater, Brackler, Baron Elesmere, Lord President of Wales
In honour seated, though you are on by ,
O You pursue the same not egerly ;
Hy though you are, your thoughts are humble still,
Nor can your greatnes you pride with ere fill.
Ever more Hy , the more your lowlines,
Greatly unto your honour, you expresse,
Egerly seeking Noblenes to shew,
Rather then greatnes, to the peoples view.
Titles you like not , truth you do affect:
On Hy, not eager , shews a heart select,
Not built for lesse then a great Architect.
