To the Right Worshipfull, Sir Dudley Digs, Knight, Master of the Rolls
Doubtlesse some men that outwardly have beene
View'd good at first, on Iustice feate wereseene
Decaying, in their splendor to behold,
Lead-colour-like, did looke more like than gold.
Earst 'twas observ'd long time to be a Iudge,
Yealds forth much vice, whereat the people grudge.
Deare master of the Rolls, your Anagram
Enjoynes a duty, put in ure the same,
Give not your vertue end, till life be ended,
So 'twill be said, Sir Dudley Digs dies guilded .
