And eke thine owne long liuing memory,
Succeeding them in true nobility:
And also for the loue, which thou doest beare
To th’Heliconian ymps, and they to thee,
They vnto thee, and thou to them most deare:
Deare as thou art vnto thy selfe, so loue
That loues and honours thee, as doth behoue.
To the right honourable the Earle of Northumberland.
The sacred Muses haue made alwaies clame
To be the Nourses of nobility.
