Classic Poem

Neuer may honor'd expedition
 In grace of Wisedome (first in this booke arm'd
With Ioues bright shield) be Nobly set vpon
 By any other; but your spirit charm'd
In birth with Wisedomes vertues; may set downe
 Foote with the formost. To which honor'd end
(Deare Lord) I could not but your name renowne
 Amongst our other Worthies; and commend
The grace of him that all things good hath grac't
 To your faire countn'ance. You shall neuer see
Valour, and vertue in such Tropicks plac't,
 And mouing vp to immortalitie,
 As in this worke. What then, fits you so fairely,
 As to see rarest deeds, and so as rarely?
