To the Right Honourable, William, Lord Fitzewilliam Baron of Lusser

With Zeale you filled are which doth so hit,
Indeede who wayes you, saies your Zeale will fit ,
Living a holy and religious life,
Loving of concord to be voyd of strife:
Injoy my Zeale , and so my heart withall
A fire which knitteth you in severall,
Most unto God, whom with a Zeale devout,

Fiery devotion you doe seeke still out:
In Zeale unto your Soveraigne you are knit,
Tide to your Country, and you bend your wit
Zealously , ever something to affect,
Exactly may prove you an architect:
Waying your Zeale thus, you doe find it sound,
Y funto God his duties you propound;
Lively you see your Zeale doth act them well,
Lively in duty to your Prince excell,
Yea and unto your Country you doe so,
And thus your Zeale will fit how ere you goe:
May every one then way their Zeale and try,
Each of them if as fit as yours ' twill ply.
