Classic Poem

To the Highly approved Statesman and best of Servants to his Masters two Incomperable Kings of Great Brittany this Age hath produced the Lord High Chancelor Sir Edward Hide now Earle of Clarington

Ned Hide, how can I hide thy Offerings
In Faith and Loyalty to two Such Kings
As Charles the first and Charles the second are
With whom the Christian world houlds no Compare
Only I'le count those Patriots most wise
Can Emulate such Gratefull Sacrefize.
