To the Right Hoourable, Alexander, Earle of Linlithgan, Lord Kallender

Annexed to the Roule of noble men,
Lending a luster as the best of them,
Encouraging a Poets pen to write:
Xecrates like, your vertues do excite,
Annex you still more vertues on the Roule;
Noble heart, so to shew a noble soule,
Declaring that as born of noble birth;
Enheriting great honours upon earth,
Rightly a fitted soule you do possesse.

Enstring still forth the truest noblenes:
Ensue to do still as you nobly do,
Vayling most lights, when as your lustre show
In vertues endles Schedule so annext ,
Nobly your vertues as a noble text:
Serve will the same to lend a lustre brave
To your deserts, desert enough who have,
On which, who ever casting but one eye.
Notes, that we lead a luster gloriously.
