To the most vertuous, and beautifull Lady, the Lady Carew

Ne may I, without blot of endlesse blame, You fairest Lady leaue out of this place, But with remembraunce of your gracious name, Where with that courtly garlond most ye grace, And deck the world, adorne these verses base: Not that these few lines can in them comprise Those glorious ornaments of heuenly grace, Wherewith ye triumph ouer feeble eyes, And in subdued harts do tyranyse: For thereunto doth need a golden quill, And siluer leaues, them rightly to deuise, But to make humble present of good will: Which whenas timely meanes it purchase may, In ampler wise it selfe will forth display.
