To the Right Honourable, John, Earle of Sutherland, Lord Strachnaver and Dun Robin

In honour needs must you be, who go in
O honour'd Peere honour'd with what you win:
Honour you unto vertu do, the which
Now back returning honour make you rich.

Great honour you unto the godly doe,
On whom your honour, honour'd Sir you show,
Rendring to those in goodnes who excell
Due noble countenance, where ere they dwell.
On you when therefore they reflect their eye,
Very much honour and true dignitie,
Never they cease to wish you honouredly .
