MARQUIS, AND EARL OF BUCKINGHAM. by Robert Herrick |
NEVER my book's perfection did appear Till I had got the name of Villars here : Now 'tis so full that when therein I look I see a cloud of glory fills my book. Here stand it still to dignify our Muse, Your sober handmaid, who doth wisely choose Your name to be a laureate wreath to her Who doth both love and fear you, honoured sir. |
 Cornelius De Neve. George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. 1627. |
