In the. Year 1669. the 99. Day of September.
ITreat Howard, how shal 1 falfil my wil?
Indeed, it doeth surpass my skil and qvil.
Yet hnmble duty commands me to write
Thy praise, bot onability maketh me q vit
That divine Maro, if be bad to cbose,
Would sing Yonr eulogy witb higber voiee
Tban he did sing of great Anchises’ son;
Minerv’ abd all the Muses* skil is gone,
And faitbl Apollo witb all eloqnenee
Gan scarce describe Your glorions Excellence:
It most needs be no Man bot Ängels tongu?,
Tbat would in words set fortb a wortby song
Of You, Great H er o, Crown of Englisb Lords,
Wbose marv*lou8 virtues far surpass tbe words,
Of man. Who could set down Your noblest Racé,
Would to posterty be a looking glass.
