WHO so wil seeke by right deserts t' attaine Unto the type of true nobility, And not by painted shewes, and titles vaine Derived farre from famous auncestrie, Behold them both in their right visnomy Here truly pourtray'd as they ought to be, And striving both for termes of dignitie, To be advanced highest in degree. And when thou doost with equall insight see The ods twixt both, of both then deem aright, And chuse the better of them both to thee: But thanks to him that it deserves behight; To Nenna first, that first this worke created, And next to Jones, that truely it translated. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...1914: 5.
