To the most Noble, and Vertuous Lord, SIR GEORGE HAY OF KILFAWNES, Great Chancellar of Scotland.

The good successe of SYLLAES great Effaires,
Made him to brag, that hee was Fortunes Chylde.
When Cæsars Pilote in a Storme shed Teares,
And prayde for Windes more mercifull and mylde,
Feare not (said Cæsar) make no more a-doe,
Thou carriest Cæsar, and his Fortunes too.
AVGVSTVS wish'd, the Heavens to him should giue,
With SCIPIOES Valour, POMPEYS Loue, but still
His owne good Fortune, Long tyme mayst Thou liue,
With Valour, Loue, and Fortune at Thy will.
Lyke SYLLA, Cæsar, and AVGVSTVS graue,
Let Fortune blinde, to Thy braue Mynde bee Slaue.
