Rare cunning builder you are, for you erect,
O honoured Sir, a glorious Architect;
Building a whole Orb of a gratious frame,
Enliving vertue in your worthy name,
Rarely erecting a rare orb indeed:
The soule doth stand for Heaven, where heavenly breed,
Entred therein as planets most divine,

Cleerely indeed within the man do shine:
An Earth your body lively doth set forth,
Replenished with truly manly worth;
Rightly thus building vertue you erect ,
Ever a most rare orbs sure architect.
