Classic Poem

That peere to be most brave may truly boast,
Having a noble heart, that will lend most ,
O then most noble Brudenell , y'are right,
Most men you lend , to walke by glorious light,
A good example, whereby they may tread,
Securely vertues steps, if taking heede.

Brave that you may be too, you well display,
Rightly compassions glorious helping ray;
Very much with your bounty such re eeving
Devoid of comfort, who for want sit grieving;
Ever your bounteous heart doth larger stretch,
Not resting till a larger bound it reach;
Eschewing so much as a misers thought.
Let still such bounty from your heart be brought,
Lending most bravely be of all men fought.
