IOHN RAMSEYE Anagramma. HONER'S I AYME, MY HONER'S AYE.

To Vertve, and to Honovr once in Rome,
Two stately Temples there erected was,
Where none might vnto Honours Temple come,
But first through Vertves Temple they must passe.
Which was an Emblem, and a Document,
That men by vertue must true honour winne,
And that, that Honovr shall be permanent,
Which onely did from Vertue first beginne.
Thus was this Noble Lords high Honour wonne,
Through Vertue, and by Vertue it increas'd:
And though his mortall Pilgrimage be done,
Yet shall his Honour neuer bee deceast.
And as for him, his Anagrams doe say.
Honer's I Ayme; Therefore My Honer's Aye.
