To the Right Honourable, Richard, Viscount Lomley of Waterford

Rich juell arm'd you are with fulgency,
In which you greatly grace your dignity.
Choise juell are you, I must needs confesse,
Having addition rich , which doth expresse
A meane poore juell we must not esteeme you;
Rather a iuell rich indeed we deeme you.
Declaring which, you see there is a cause,

Lively while you should an arm'd iuell pause:
Vertue within your heart having its seate,
May be repelled by the foe, whose threate
Living in innocence, that you may fell,
Exactly armed you his force repell,
You then may be an arm'd rich iuell well.
