Classic Poem

In your most noble vertues, honour'd Lord,
A manly stay you very well afford;
Manlines seems conveyed unto your
Ev'n from the root from which your life you drew,
Stanlyes did ever shew such manlines :

See then a manly stay you well expresse,
True manhood is a prop, an help, a stay ,
And sure defence where e're the same doth sway.
Not to the man alone, who doth possesse
Lively true fortitude, and manlines
Ever intire, but that sweet Land is blest,
Yeelding to see a manly stay their rest.
