To the most noble and all worthily-commended Lady, the Lady Wroth.

A LETTER in your name (deere Dame's) misplac'd
By Fortune, els it had your nature hitt;
The R where now it stands it would haue raz'd.
And put past O, your genius so to fitt:
For in the abstract you are WORTH (not Wroth)
By nature, bloud and by your natiue name
And what I say of you I say of both;
For man and wife's but one; then one in fame
I make you both; if any odds there bee,
It is in Wroth but not in Worth's degree.
