[M More worth then vertue can no creature know]
M.
M More worth then vertue can no creature know,A A Phœnix in the world there is but one:
R Rare is the Bird, and though there be no mo,
Y Yet you may finde hir when you are alone.
G.
G Great is the Grace that in the spirit liueth,A And such a life is worthy honors loue:
T The perfect good that heau'nly mercie giueth,
E Elected Virgins in the heau'ns aboue.
