Classic Poem

Placed when Let in Sodome City was,
And that Gods Sentence 'gainst the same did passe,
That it should be destroy'd, Lot had in sight
Reflecting upon Zoare that there hemight
In safety bide: unto God he did pray,
Chosing the same thitherward to survey,
Keeping so Zoare, Zoare likewise kept him too,
Each other one anothers good ensue:

Fitted with vertue since that you are then,
Insafing thereby Sir your Country men;
True tis your Zore y'ave kept safe to abide,
Zoare likewise ever doth you good entide.

More firme is Zore in that you live therein,
On whose prosperity yours doth begin:
Right true it is and tis right true likewise,
Rais'dis your wealth from Zores felicityes;
In which each well perceive and loude doe cry,
So zoar kept you, you it kept for thy.
