To the R. Honorable and most learned Lord, the Lord Henry Haward, &c.

What hope the noble, vertuous, and the learn'd
May haue, they having now so rare a King,
In thee learn'd, vertuous, noble Lord's discern'd,
In whom these flourisht without cherrishing.
Where vertue raignes, her subiects shal beare rule,
The learn'd, and vertuous, shee wil haue to sway:
For vice wel-learned, is but arm'd Misrule,
By whom the vertuous stil are made awaie.
Honors doe alter manners in those men
That are to honor and good manner foes;
In thee that is not to be feared then,
For each with thee, from thy conception groes.
And sith Apollo now doth water them
They wil grow great togither with the stemme.
I. D.
