Classic Poem

I see methinks the places where you sway,
And how your honour causeth to obey,
Much like unto an Iland, which the sea
Ever surroundeth, so that such may be
Sea-compassed about with sure defence.

Likely it is that Country hath a fence
Impregnable, where you doe baronize,
Nobly then guiding under Charles the wise;
Doubtlesse more sure and safe they are therein,
Even then if Sea-surrounded they had bin.
See yemy Iland ? very well may ye,
Enquire then of men, seeing Sir you be
Your selfe a more fare fence, then is the Sea.
