A Lord that vsed to swear by his honour before his pattent was sealed.
By mine honour quoth an elective Lord,Madam, of all your sex I love you best.
She answers, swear by something on record,
And then I shall believe what you protest:
For want of fees your Pattent's yet undrawn,
The Heraulds and the Ushers are unpaid,
Untill that's done your honour lies in pawn,
And must do till all charges be defrayd,
No credit seek till you that disingage,
For in th'mean while your honours under age.
