Henry Carey: The Anagram. Rayne Rich.

An Acrostick upon the Anagram.

H onored Sir, If content a Kingdome be,
E ver raigne rich, grac't with that inward crowne,
N one is (then you) in true nobility
R icher; in vertue, issue, or renowne,
Y ou need not feare fortunes inconstant frowne.
C onscience unstain'd, justice, integrity
A bound in you, by all which you are knowne.
R emarkt you are for your sincerity,
E nnobled Sir, and in your blest posterity
Y ou shall raigne rich, still making these your owne.
