To the Right Honourable Earl, Lord WILLIAM CECIL of SALISBURY.
Anag.
I Will really accord.
Vers.
Agree in truth, I will really accord,To nothing else, Will I consent afford.
Epig.
SO high a Task, to undertake or chuse,For my so empty brdin, or shallow Muse,Doth argue Weaknesse, for it is a thing,My knowledge cannot; to perfection bring.Yet in submission, from a loyall heart,I undertake sincerely to impart,Those high extended excellencies, rare,Which with the best; most worthy may compare:A high-born, Baron, ancient Lord, and Earl,Of matchlesse splendor, bright as any Pearl,True Conquerour of Honour, Valour, fame,Of vertue, favour, and magnifick name!So Constant, in, the cause for which we fight,And spend our bloud, maintaining Englands right.Adds thy assisting Land, unto tho••e Lords,Whose matchlesse wisedome, all true worth affords.Of thee therefore, whose Vertues are so high,I take my leave; in all humility.
W. M.
