Classic Poem

Choyse Noble Lord, who a rare guide indeed,
Advanc'd your selfe to be of noble breed,
Rightly Broch you the blood of enemies
Raging, that would your Countries life surprize:
Expressing so, you are a rare guide , wise,

In good way goe you forward, and as guise,
E'ne of a rare guide rightly doth require,
Doe so, and we'le no more of you desire:
Beholding after ages then shall be,
Right Noble Lord, but to example thee:
On whom, in Histories when they shall read,
Viewing your worth; o a rare guide indeed:
Guide rare then, broach , and feare not to beginne,
Heaven so by vertuous valour you may winne.
