Classic Poem

Rich Governers so as the world enjoy,
It matter, not how much they doe destroy;
Chose governers we now doe for their wealth,
Having no care unto the Publique health:
Admired Sir, in wealth as you are rich ,
Rightly so sway you in your power, which
Declaresin deede you have an active head,
Ever will stand your Country in good stead.

Mixed in you is riches and witt too,
Very well then nobility you doe
Lively performe, for where they both are mixed ,
Indeede each eye may very well be fixed:
No riches you doe want of body or in mind,
Expresly this we for a truth doe find;
Very well may you true nobility,
Xerxes like shewinriche with dignity.
