To the Right Honourable, Geoge, Bisc. Oboyne, Lord Gordon
Gorgeus it is for noble men who graced
Expresse true manhood which in them is placed,
On goring of the foes which would oppresse,
Rending a way a setled quietnesse,
Gorgeously your ancients gor'd , and hence,
I thinke you had your name whence doth commence,
Vertue with valour likely mixed is,
So h one, doth thother hardly mis.
Go on then in your predecessors way,
On follow them, nor from their footsteps stray,
Rightly possesse the valour that before
Deckt with your predecessors ever wore,
O then we shall indeed but truth confesse,
Noble you are and full of valiantnesse.
