With manlines who art so well indu'de,
Innobled in your soul with fortitude,
Lively man needs must be; and that's the man
Lively who guide his life in perils can:
In quiet wether, sans tempestuousnes,
A life to guid sets forth no manlines ;
Manlines doth in stormy windes consist.

Fierce when stormes rage then quietly to rest:
In perils to be prest with manlines
Ever to last, and not endure represse,
Lively man , shews he is, he life can guid ,
Duty performing whatsoe're betide;
Enriched with a gracious content
Never decaying, for 'tis permanent.
Go on then lively Man, guid life so well,
Each one may say none Denbigh could excell.
