Ido rejoyce at the respect you bear
To Bretby, by your choice of living there:
My Lord so great a house kept, that by none
(Of all our Noblemen) he was out-gone:
And you so neatly and gentilely live,
That all that know you Commendations give.
If my Lord Stanhope comes, and you remove,
May you be follow'd by all good mens love;
That (wheresoere you live) there may be seen
No change, but alteration of the Scene.
