Classic Poem

Here dost thou bring (my friend) a stranger borne
 To be indenized with vs, and made our owne,
Nobilitie; whose name indeed is worne
By manie that are great, or mightie growne:
 But yet to him most natural, best knowne,
To whom thou doost thy labours sacrifize,
And in whom al those vertues best are showne
Which here this little volume doth comprize.
 Wheron when he shall cast his worthie eies,
He here shal glasse himselfe, himselfe shal reed:
The modell of his owne perfections lies
Here plaine describ'd, which he presents indeed:
 So that if men can not true worth discerne
 By this discourse, looke they on him and learne.
