Classic Poem

I seene strong Palme , you say, and you shall have it:
Ah Sir, the gods unto deservers gaveit;
'Mongst which deservers, seeing that you are,
Every way your worth let Palme declare.
Such Palmes were given, as signes of honours had,

Earn'd by those, who by Mars were victors made:
Likely then you, whom muses doe befriend,
Palme giving you, who Countries good doe tend.
Insue with valour then as you begun
Nobly at first, till you the Palme had wonne,
That as you have the Palme , and earn'd it well,
Shewing true man-hood doth within you dwell:
That you who gat the Palme of victory,
O nobly may retain'd true dignity.
None but will say your valour doth excell,
E'ne you have earn'd strong Palme , which fits you well.
