My good Lord:

THere is a Royall marriage to beheld, In the Mount Syon (that God loues so well,) It was determin'd in the dayes of eld, And now's at hand, and I am charg'd to tell, Some noble friends, to th'end they may prouide, T'attend the nuptialls of the Lambe and's Bride; To be made members of it: therefore I My office and my seruice, both t'approue Towards God, and you giues this to testifie, In chaines of duty, and vnfained loue, I'm bound so fast (It shall be vnderstood;) I cannot, mooue (except to do you good,)

I come t'inuite your Honor to a feast, That's heauenly, holy, happy, and ne'er ends, You are elected as a proper guest: Nobillity, vertue, honor, are those friends Must grace the nuptialls, the bad must be gone, "Good will haue good associats, or else none. My Lord I know you, and I know y'are stor'd, With wisedome, learning, bounty, beauty, loue, Humillity, piety, grace, a compleate Lord, Your merits vow to build your seate aboue, Your foes on earth with grace; and (sayth the story) Mercy will build your seate in Heauen with glory. I haue a licence from the greatest power, To build a lanthorne for the Kingdomes sight, And vpon stately Lathams eagle Tower, I thus presume to place it, to giue light Vnto the present, and the future time, Of the true worth of Derbyes Prince-like line: Keepe you it in repaire, and you shall proue, I owe you life, although I pay but loue.

A seruant, at your Honorable disposition, Augustine Taylor.
