To the Right Honourable William, Earle of Hartford, and Baron Beauchamp

With noble Jewels of the inward minde
Indu'd should these be, that from noble kinde,
Lively descend. And the more noble still,
Let ever covet most his soul to fill,
Inriching it with this most lasting Pelse,
And sure these Iewels will out-last on's self,
Making one live againe when he is dead.

Seyuare , great Hersfords Earle, most nobly bred;
Ever you shew, that you do well pursue
Your Predecessors, Iewels , which in you
Most lively acted are, so that thereby
On you more Iewels daily fructisie;
Vertue in you is so incorporate,
Rightly more Iewels are you for the State,
England calls men to Vy in you her fate.
