Classic Poem

Gorgeous Ray which you illuster forth,
Expressing you a gemme of peerelesse worth,
O you send forth a most resplendant ray ,
Rightly which you out of Gods word display;
Great gemme of endlesse worth that is and, make
It doth of you a gemme , who pleasure take,
Vertuous good Bishop in that holy Booke,
Seeking wherein for happinesse you looke.

Gorgeously , Sir, retaine your gem ray still,
Repleat with light your diocese and fill,
All eyes that doe behold you with the light,
Had from the word of God that gem most bright;
And of your luster lose not any Ior,
Make increment, decreasall make you not.
Eterne ( hay gorgeous gem ray ) is your lot.
