On the VVorshipfull, and worthy of all honour, Mrs Anne Balle, Wife of Peter Balle Esquire.

If worth can mortals to advancement bring,
If birth, or beauty be a precious thing,
Meeknesse be great Honours Palace gate,
And the fore-runner of some happy fate,
Happy, then happy thou, that art the sweet
And little center where all these doe meet.
