VII. TO MY ONLY L. ARB.

Patrona mia supra titulos,
Chast-loue engendrer, chaser-lust away,
adord be al, admyrd ad siculos,
whose hands I hope shal statlye scepters suay,
your ouen foulero and your humble sclaue
to god his prayers for your saftye offers;
to yow so many blissings dois he crave
as nummi ar within your grandames coffers.
