To the Right Honourable Spencer, Earl Northhapmton, Baron Compton of Copmton
Sure 'tis the greatest honour of a Peere,
(Presuppose that excepted, makes him beare
Ensignes of Honour above other men:)
Nere to the presenc Chamber to be then,
Charily eying of his Soveraign Prince,
Ever beholding him, without offence,
Regarding which, the Peers who vertuously
Chuse above others to walk worthily,
O they enjoy the presenc of that Sunne
Most gloriously, from whence their lustre come.
Presse then into the presenc , and regard
That Majestic, which you doth so reward:
On presenc Conspt , his estimation high;
No man but Kings advance to dignity.
