Classic Poem

Who hath a Iewel excellent and rare,
In a triumphant maner will it weare ;
Letting all see, who view his noble dresse
Lively pourtrayd in Him is noblenesse;
In you a Iewel of high estimate,
Admired Lord, nay of excessive rate,
Making these nobles who the same possesse,

Ever resplendeth, and your happines
Vertues brave Iewel , 'tis indeed to weare ,
Rightly which to your honour doth adhere,
Ever so let that Iewel thine appeare.
