To the Right Honourable, John, Earle of Vigtowne and Cumbernauld
In your deserts who so to vertue fly ,
O noble Earle needs must you be on by ,
Hy vertue is, and as a Load-stone drawes,
Nobly that foule that's guided by her lawes.
Fly then on high, Fly after vertue still,
Loving the same you stand on honours hill,
Ensuing what great virtue, till on high ,
In endlesse honour we shall see you fly ,
More honour still will unto you increase,
In that you love so well a vertuous peace.
Nay, when as death unto you is in highing,
Greatly we then shall see you on high Flying .
