Classic Poem

Peere as you are advanc't to honours high,
Inseated in the seate of dignity,
Ensue such courses as may make you be ,
Right truely thought a peere of high degree:
Choose well you have, in vertues path to tread,
Ensue the same, and then although you dead

Burned your ashes are interred in
Vrne of your noble suncesters and kin;
The Records and the Monuments of time,
Lively will make your fame the Skies to clime:
Exactly shewing you a true peere were,
Rightly that did so true a peere appeare.
