Nobility innobled.

A Character of the most excellent Marquis of Dorchester, Earl of Kingstone, The Lord Pierrepont.

In Honours Sphere thou like a Sun art shown,
Impartest light, yet not impair'st thy own.
The Poets Phœbus, and Physicians too,
Nay ev'n Church lights have influence from you.
They who laid hands on others for to preach,
On them th' times hands lay for to silence teach.
Thy hands relieve the mischief others do;
They're strangely tongue-ty'd cannot speak of you.
No gilt-tongu'd Lawyer but doth plead for thee;
When thou'rt but nam'd, he hath his Angel fee.
Physicians 'bove Catholicon thee quote,
'Gainst times infection their best antidote.
Thou read'st the living, yet neglect'st not th' dead,
Hast both in Books and Skeletons them o're read.
But oh th' rich incense of each virgin prayer,
While parents virtues now made dowries are!
Stream to posterity honour in thy blood,
VVhat vice nor th' times Contagion taints, is good.
Plaistred with blood no house on ruines built,
VVith others gold rear'd up, but thy own gilt.
'Bove Constellations may thy Coronet shine:
Honour her self is honour'd being thine.
VVho the lost Cyphers th' house of Lords complains,
VVhile that perfections summe in thee remains.
