Classic Poem

Ever right honour, and true noblenes
Declared in your vertues, you expresse,
Warding your self with more then common ward ,
According to your birth, which high regard
Rightly draws to your self, so that withall
Doubtles y'are warded with a double wall.

Seeing your high and truly noble birth,
Each one confesse y'are warded well on earth;
Your worthy vertues when we have in eye,
More warded you are then by birth, we cry:
O, then pursue still in the vertuous trade,
Rightly whereby more warded you are made.
