By THOMAS FVLLER Master of Arts of Sidnye Colledge in Cambridge.
LONDON, Printed by Tho. Cotes, for Iohn Bellamie, dwelling at the three Golden Lyons in Cornehill. 1631.
To the Honorable Mr. Edwar… Mr. William, and Mr. Christopher Montagu, Sonnes to the Right Honorable, Edward Lord Montagu, of Boughton.
FAire Branches of a Stock as faire
Each a sonne, and each an heire:
Two Ioseph-like, from Sire so sage,
Sprung in Autumne of his age;
But a Benjamin the other,
Gain'd with losing of his Mother.
This fruit of some spare hours I spent
To your Honours I present.
A King I for my subiect have,
And Noble Patrons well may cra…
Things tripartite are fit for three,
With Youths, things youthful best …
Take thē therfore in good part,
Of him that ever prayeth in heart,
That as in height ye waxe apace,
Your Soules may higher grow …
Whilst your Father (like the greene
Eagle in his Scutcheon seene,
Which with bill his age doth cast)
May longer still and longer last:
To see your Vertues o're increase
Your Yeares, ere he departs in Peace.
Thus I my Booke, to make an end,
To You: and you to God commend.
Your Honours in all service Tho. Fuller.
