To Mr. Richard Moore, one of the Masters of the Chancery, on his name.
For to be Rich and hard, or hard and Rich,Is not thy nature, though thy name be such:
For to be Rich 'tis hard, but thou hast store
Of Riches, Honour, yet of Vertue more:
Which Vertue, Honour, Riches now adayes
Being hard to get, More great must be thy prayse,
So I, and all that know thee, doe agree,
The More's the pittie there's no More like thee.
