ANAGRAM: OH! ON HY HILLS by MARY FAGE

First Line: IN VIRTUE WHEN I SEE YOU MAKE SUCH SPEED
Last Line: SO ON HY HILLS TO STAND YOU WELL HAVE WON.

In virtue when I see you make such speed,
Oh! it doth then no admiration breed,
Hy, on hy hills of honor that you stand:
Nature commandeth virtue such a band.
Honor on virtue ever should attend:
Oh, on hy hills you may forever wend:
Loving of virtue which doth shine so clear,
Likely it is, you Earl of Clare appear.
Insue then well, what you have well begun,
So on hy hills to stand you well have won.
