TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE ROBERT, EARLE OF SALISBVRIE, AND LORD HIGH TREASORER OF ENGLAND, &c. ROBERTVS CAE CIL••VS.Is coelebs, Vrit cura.
[illustration]
TH' Arabian PHOENIX heere, of golden plumes.And bicie brest, vpon a sacred pileOf sweetest odors, thus himselfe consumes;By force of PHOEBVS fiery beames, the while,From foorth the ashes of the former dead,A faire, or fairer, by and by is bred.
You, you (Great Lord) this wondrous PHOENIX are,Who wast your selfe in Zeale, and whot desire,Of Countries good, till in the end your careShall worke your end, as doth this PHOENIX fire.But while you are consuming in the same,You breede a second, your immortall Fame.
