To the Right Honourable Robert, Earle of Liecester, Viscount Lisley, Baron Sidney, of Penshurst
Regard doth true Nobility still cast
On such disports whereon true honour's plac't,
Being lesse losse of time, more common good
Ever atchiev'd. Thus doth true Noble bloud.
Rare sport of all is worthy horsemanship,
That doth true valour in remembrance keep:
Entred is valour in a Horses crest,
Such is the fortitude of that brave beast,
Ye Rider then, who place there in your joy,
Delight in't still; 'tis Noble, not a toy;
Never leave off an exercise so good,
Ever so fitting to a Noble bloud:
Ye rider best, on with your manly-hood.
