TO THE RIGHT HONOƲRABLE JOHN ELPHINGSTOWNE. Lord Balmerinoch.
Anagr.
I own honest helping.
Vers.
I own honest helping, and I did engage,For honest help, the Covenant in plage.
Epig.
THat other light for which I lent my word,Thou art; our wise Balmerinoch, brave Lord,Who chang'd thy own true proper place in Sphear,And set thy self to shine in Englands ayr:Shine still, but so, that sending beams abroad,Thy light reflect upon thy old abode.Seek Englands good, next thy Creators gloryIn all thy actions, and thy Oratorie.But having shin'd, and shew'd thy true intent,Return, and shine in thy own Firmament.
W. M.
