To the Right Honourable, Montague Lord Bartus, Sonne and Heire of Robert Earle of Lyndsey

Many cleere vertues in you, orient pearle,
O rightly show you son to such an Earle;
Naturally declaring you to be
The Image just of such another he.
Au! when your noblenesse we doe descry,
Great Peere, bee son atrue Iem straight we cry,
Vertue so true in you must a true Iem
Ever proclaime you, worthiest amongst men.

Be't cannot be, yet ev'n so be it tho,
A tru and precious Iem we may thee known
Resplend then forth the Raies of thy great light,
That we may see thee rightly to be bright,
Vertues tru gem will each one then confesse,
Ever your merits make you, no whitlesse.
