of every station,

Mark this strange and true relation,

Which in brief to you I bring-

Never was a stranger thing.

You shall find it worth the hearing:

Loyal lovolove [sic] is most endeariugendearing [sic],

When it takes thothe [sic] deepest root,

Yielding charms and gold to boot.

Some will wed for love of treasurotreasure [sic],

But thothe [sic] sweetest joy and pleasuropleasure [sic]

Is in faithful lovolove [sic], you'll find,

Graced with a noblonoble [sic] mind.

Such a noblonoble [sic] disposition,

Had this lady, with submission;

Of whom I this sonnet write,

Store of wealth and beauty bright.

ShoShe [sic] had left by a good grannum,

Full five thousand pounds per annum

Which she held without control;

Thus she did in riches roll.
