Sonnet Xxxix Poem by E C Esquire

Image of honour, Vertues first borne childe,
Natures faire painted stage, Fames brightest face,
Syren that neuer with thy tongue beguild,
Sibill more wise then Cumas Sibill was,
When learnings sun with more resplendent gleames,
Shall with immortall flowres of poesie,
Bred by the vertue of Bram bigning beames
Deck by inuention for thy dignitie:
With heauenly hymnes thy more the heauenly parts
Ile deifie, thy name commands such dutie,
Though many heads of poisest poets arts
Are insufficient to expresse thy beautie,
Thy name, thy honour, and loues puritie,
With Stanzas, Layes and Hymnes Ile stellifie.
