20. To the Lord Richard Sacvil, Earl of Dorchester.

YOur Ancestors were Noble; you, we see, The glory of renew'd Nobilitie. For you, (which was a Wonder in old time, Seems now Prodigious, to our vicious Clime) Rewards attending Merits, disrespect; Love prudent Lawes; devasting Arms neglect. To prefer Vertue, before Power, think good; And Learning's Jewel, before Noble Bloud.
