THOMAS COVENTRY.
O Hye constant Mure.
An Acrostick upon the Anagram.
The Hye and constant Mure girt you about,Hedging your person in, from all detraction.Open you lye not to the vulgar rowt,Maligning goodnesse, and inclin'd to faction.AFort you are, built on the Rock, not Sand,Stable, all stormes of envie to withstand.Continue in your justice, mercy, piety,Oppression and extortion still keepe under,Vertue, in which man comes most neere a Diety,(Excellent Sir) shall your best merits wonder.Never shall your uprightnesse be forgot;Never; a conscience so unstain'd and pureTime shall to Lethe leave, or scandall spot.Remaine it shall, whilst Moone or Starres indure,You guarded still, with an Hye constant Mure.
