To the Right Honourable, James, Marquesse Hamilton

In you the vertues that I doe espy,
Admired Marquesse, may set you on by ,
Making you by who in so by paths tread,
Example unto others when y'are dead:
Seeing the which, I cannot choose but say,

Ha honour'd Marquesse, Vertue set you may
All highly as a high and noble Peere,
Meaning it selfe in you great Lord to reare;
In whom high vertues are inclosed high ,
Living with you in honours dignity.
Thus vertue on by set, may set you by ,
On by advance in all the peoples eye:
Noble your birth, more noble is your grace,
Exactly treading out a vertuous trace.
