In Honoratissimum Dominum EDOARDUM LITTLETON, Magni Angliae Sigilli Custodem, & Chiliarcham.
TRuncatus manibus, ne ferret munera Iudex;
Olim oculis captus, ne caperetur, erat:
Vteris ambobus melius 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,
Jura Oculo tueris, Jura tuere Manu.
Arma Togae socias, Custos utriusque Minervae,
Juridicum Bellum, bellica Jura facis;
Nata sit Astraei cùm Legum diva Gigantis,
Herm-arium fas est Hanc habuisse Ducem.
Hercule sub duplo non est dubitare Triumphos,
Qui Verbo mentes, Verbere membra domet.
