Love vertue, she alone is free,

Higher than the Spheary chime;
Or if Vertue feeble were,
Heav’n it self would stoop to her.”

Have Nature all the Name,
Art and ornament the shame.
Her flattery,
Picture and Poesy,
Her counsell her owne vertue bee.”

And yours of whom I sing be such
As not the world can praise too much,
Yet is’t your vertue now I raise.”
