To the Right Honourable, William, Earle of Darby

With wisedome you are guided that excelling,
I doe perceive within you hath a dwelling,
Living as a high Law , which powerfully
Leadeth you forward till you reach on high:
I know your high blood, honourd Stanley sure,
And wish your predecessors vertues may endure,
Made yours as now we doe perceive they be:

Drawne by a mild law ingenuity,
And wisedome leading you so well along,
Rightly your vertues cannot my fraile tongue
Blazon forth, rightly this is all lle say,
You by a milder law are vide to sway,
Exactly where into you doe obay.
