To The Qveene.

Of all proportions (Madam) diuers dare
Conclude that absolute, which is most square:
Well may they proue that Theoreme: for I know
Square Bodies doe the most perfection show:
Perfection still consisting in this best,
To stand more sure, the more it is supprest.
Which speciall vertue chiefly doth belong
Vnto square bodies, or right do's them wrong:
Your scutchion therefore, and the Honours due,
May constantly support your Worth and You;
Whose life's drawne out (vnsoild with subiects hate)
By such a Samplar, none can imitate.
