The most elegant and witty epigrams of Sir Iohn Harrington | ||
47 In prayse of the Countesse of Darby, married to the Lord Chauncellor.
This noble Countesse liued many yeeresWith Darby, one of Englands greatest Peeres;
Fruitfull and faire, and of so cleare a name,
That all this Region marueld at her fame.
But this braue Peere, extinct by hastned Fate,
She stayd (ah too too long) in widdowes state:
All eares, eyes, tongues, heard, saw, & told her honor:
Yet finding this a saying full of veritie,
Tis hard to haue a Patent of prosperitie,
Shee found her wisest way and safe to deale,
Was to consort with him that keepes the Seale.
