To the Right Honourable, Viscount of Sligo

I take the honey for the publique good,
On which this Anrgram is understood,
Honey more caus'd you then that doth imply,
Nobly more good you caus'd in dignity.

Such one are you as the industrious Bee,
Chusing of Flowers most laboriously;
Verting still over them, at last she makes
Dearely beloved honey , which she takes,
And closely closeth it within the waxe
Most neately that for it she had compact.
O so doe you who Countries good doe seeke,
Respecting which you labour wealth to eeke,
Ene bringing so more honey to the Hive.
