To the right noble lady, the lady of Roxborough,

That this small piece was, noble Lady, born

To be among those rites we did adorn

Your worthy nuptials, I rejoice, as one

whoever longed to have his wishes shown

In anything that might your honour sound,

for that great goodness I have ever found.

And, Madam, this much, I would have you know

That I must evermore confess to owe

All gratitude unto your nobleness,

who always have been ready to express

your love to virtue, and to do me grace

with all sincere proceeding, in your place.

We, that the world from me may understand

Here, Madame I subscribe it with my hand,

Samuel Daniel.
