93. To my honoured friend Mr. Samuel Roper.

Make Darbyshire by your most able Pen,
Allow you her obliging'st Countrey-man;
From dust and dark oblivion raise her Glories,
And (from old Records) publish all her stories.
So you (with Mr. Dugdale) shall remain
Your Countreys honour; other Countreys stain.
