To the Reverend Father in God, Richard, Lord Bishop of Chichester
Rich are you in the graces that appeare
Inhabitant, and shining in you cleare,
Choicely delighting thereby every ey,
Heartily loving you so Bishoply;
Admiring in your virtues that proceed,
Rightly declaring that you'r rich indeed;
Daily go on, as you have well begun,
Mounting still nearer to our glorious Son:
Oh as a mount above the rest; so high,
Vertue hath made you o're the vulgary
Now as a mount , you nearer to the Sun,
Thereby unto your self more heat have won;
And as a rich mount , if a guard you need,
Guarded you are by innocence, and heed,
Vertue security will truest breed.
