ANAGRAM: SHEW MEN JOY by MARY FAGE

First Line: IN YOUR GREAT HONOUR FREE FROM ALL ALLOY
Last Line: SHEWING MEN JOY, WHO DO OUR COMFORT BREED.

In your great honour free from all alloy,
O truly noble Weymes, you shew men joy;
Having your virtues in their clearer sight,
Nothing there is can breed them more delight.
With joy your wisdom so doth men content:
Ever we pray it might be permanent:
Your virtuous life doth breed so great delight,
Men wish you endless joy, you to requite;
Eternal joy may unto you succeed,
Shewing men joy, who do our comfort breed.
