Ever may Mulgraves Earle, if Muses write
(Darling unto the poore) of your but right,
Make all the world admire in seeing thee,
On high an Emblem of true charity.
Now we may see how charity doth grace
Duly great men, who use it in their place.

See how much greater still a man doth rise,
He may the same still the more exercise:
Eternize then your greatnes you do mean.
Filling and feeding those that hungry been:
Filling and feeding them, and you thereby
Increasing of your store most gloriously,
Ever regarding of the poore, whose mone
Lively doth pierce your heart; their inward grone
Doubtles hath made you fill and feeds each one.
