To the Right Honourable, Thomas, Earle of Kelly, Vice Fenton, Lord Dwilton
The Lo wherewith your Anagram begins
Hath an inviting nature, and it winnes
O noble Sir, spectators to behold
Meekely how hasting you are yet inrold
As a great Peere, in honours dignity,
Such hast hath meekenesse made to set you high.
Know honor'd Lord that those who highest are,
Excell in meekenesse , so their worth declare:
Let then your meeke heart hast to honour high,
Likely meeke men are fit for dignity:
You then thus meeke may unto honours hast ,
Envy hath never yet meeke men displac't.
