30. Upon the Marriage of William Earl of Pembrook; and Mary, Daughter to the Earl of Salisbury, 1605.

For Nature, Wisdom, Beauty, Age, Estates,
Nobility, ye are most equal Mates:

So Nobly, as deserv'd, your Bridal-bed.
And I acknowledge Madam; that you are,
Worthy a Husband, yours, excelling far.
