22. To the Honourable Lord Richardson.

Our Virgin-Queen, beheld with great content;
Our Sister Suffolk's, happy Government:
But till her Progress; she knew not the Cause;
To be the Gospels Marriage unto Lawes.
When to meet her the Justices did Ride;
Not one but had a Chaplain by his side.
To Love the Learned, Pious Clergy; is,
Vertue describ'd, without Periphrasis.
You are the Obadiah, who do feed
The Prophets of the Lord: Relieve their Need.
Whilst you continue, in this devout way:
My Muse shall sing; and let the Clergy Pray.
