Of Sir Ranoulphe Crewe, once Lord Chiefe Iustice of England.
The Anagram.
Now Helper, Crave.
An Acrostick upon the Anagram.
R are 'tis such as have helpt, now helpe to crave,A president of this, in you we have,
N one ever in your place of Iustice sate,
O r graver, or more wise to arbitrate,
V owes you have kept made to the Iudge on hie,
L ystned, (as he doth) to the poore mans cry,
P rotecting Widowes, Orphans, and indeed,
H elping all such as did your justice need.
E minent Sir, your vertues are your shield,
C onquering base envie who hath lost the field,
R eproacht, for so maligning your renowne,
E ternity shall all your actions crowne,
W hilst those that sought your goodnes to deprave,
E ver shall need your helping hand to crave.
