[L Lay downe your Pens, that pen vnworthy prayse]

L Lay downe your Pens, that pen vnworthy prayse,
A Aduaunsing Dames which naught may claime by right:
D Direct your course a Ladies fame to raise,
I In eche respect that well deserues your light.
G Grace is a gifte deuyne giuen from aboue,
C Cancell the scrowles that others praise pretende:
A All writs are voyde that substance none doe proue,
V Uertue and blood, this Lady both commende.
E Eche perfite good in her doth fyrmely rest,
N Noble by byrth, by Nature affable,
D Disposed well, all ill she doth detest,
I In euery action modest and stable.
S Set shape aside, where Uertue hath no place,
H Here shape and Uertue both are ioynde in Grace.
