The Scourge of Folly | ||
To my most louing, and intirely beloued Pupill, Mr. Arthur De-la-vale, attending the right honorable, and most happy Earle of Dunbarre.
Thy Name is of the Vale; thy Nature, not:For, it is kinde, and truly generous;
As are thy worthy brothers (well I wott)
Then is thy Nature highly vertuous:
Yet being lowly too, as is the Dale,
Thy Name thy Nature sits deere De-la-vale.
