That their foundations ever will endure.
Be then a Mount most noble Sir at scope ,
Ever retaining what in you we hope,
A mounted sure stability, the which
Vertue will draw you to a higher pitch.

On which our hopes may rest assuredly:
Nor cease a mount to be at largest scope ,
That so retaining a more setled hope,
Eternity and you at last will cope.
