Classic Poem

Warlike brave Dowglas with a wife slow pace,
In the fore ward with valour great did trace:
Let Alexander come. And certainly
Lively you do expres nobilitie,
In all things waxing stronger by degree,
And shewing right that you a leader be:
May every one still in all goodnes grow,

And waxing may a sample others show;
Lead you do valiantly advancing stil,
Ever true wisedome rightly you fulfill.
Xerxes doth seem to be reviv'd againe,
Ah, you so lively follow in his vaine:
Now to conclude my leader with delight;
Davly to war in all I will excite;
Eternity will then to you succeed
Right noble Peere, where warring shal not need.
