To the Right Honorable, Hugh, Viscount Magennis of Evagh

Hy are the vertues which within you seene ,
Verity must confesse, in you to beene:
Glorious rayes are they they glitter forth,
Having so made you noble in great worth

Magnanimous you are with'n your minde,
And therefore you Magnanimous we finde;
Calling you so, because that we have seene

Entrance for grace which you retaine within:
Nobly you shew yourselfe indeed thereby,
On which Nobility you may rely.
Seene as magnanimous , we cal you so

An by magnanimous ; your worth we know,
Letting each see the beames that you let fall:
Indeed magnanimus may make us call ,
Admiring at your height, the noble flight,
Seene soring high, wherein you doe delight.

Magnanimous shewes you have a great spirit,
And by, by honours shews you doe inherit;
Got not for nothing, but by vertues seene ,
Expressed that by actions well have beene.
Now thus magnanimus sith you appeare,
Nobly retaine the worth that you have here,
In honour then you shall be seene to be,
Seene in magnanimous eternity.
