To William Lord Mounteagle

LX.
 — TO WILLIAM LORD MOUNTEAGLE.
 
 Lo, what my country should have done (have raised
    An obelisk, or column to thy name,
 Or, if she would but modestly have praised
    Thy fact, in brass or marble writ the same)
 I, that am glad of thy great chance, here do !
    And proud, my works shall out-last common deeds,
 Durst think it great, and worthy wonder too,
    But thine, for which I do't, so much exceeds !
 My country's parents I have many known ;
    But, saver of my country, THEE alone.
