To the Right Honourable, William, Earle of Morton, Lord Dakleith and Aberdour

Well may you be a Peere most excellent,
In whom true gould remaines so permanent,
Living so truely nobly, that men see
Lively the lustre of true gould in thee;
In which your mind so rich with grace beset,
Admits your body but a cabinet:
Much doth the plentie of this gould abound,

Declaring you most nobly wise, profound.
O you do so much treasure thus possesse,
Verily y'are your Gountries happines:
Gould farre excelling are your vertues, and
Like goulden wals they compasse in your land.
Ah, so proceed and lim those gould wals still,
So may the land rest safely at her will.
