TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE Syr Robert Sidney KNIGHT, LORD VICOVNT Lisle.
When
first I did thy Patronage implore,
Promise and Loue the chiefe incentiues were,
VVhich made me bold to set my skill before
Your eie of iudgment: But now Loue with Feare
VVils me to beg assistance from thy selfe,
To saue my Barke from the VVorlds dangerous shelfe.

Your eie of iudgment: But now Loue with Feare
VVils me to beg assistance from thy selfe,
To saue my Barke from the VVorlds dangerous shelfe.
I know not, I, what Pow're doth me constraine,
(May be some heau'nly Influence doth moue)
For now my Barke must launch into the Maine,
O let her Pilot be (great LORD) thy Loue!
And as thou grac'd her lying in the Docke,
So steere her now aloofe from Enuies Rocke.
