Classic Poem

Roles that record your high growne worthinesse,
O Englands Chamberlaine, and doe expresse
Bright acts of yours, had need be very bright ,
Eternizing your worth of radiant light.
Role bright you send the acts which you send forth,
Truely to Chronicle as is their worth.

Lend you doe life unto a Poetspen,
In calling unto minde the ancient men:
Noting old Histories, and all he can,
Duely to set you out oh peerelesse man:
Seeking throughout at last, he none doth finde
Exampling you with such a noble minde;
You send bright Rolls , wherein your praise to bind.
