• Withal I did infer your lineaments,
  Being the right idea of your father,
  Both in your form and nobleness of mind;
  Laid open all your victories in Scotland,
  Your discipline in war, wisdom in peace,
  Your bounty, virtue, fair humility;
  Indeed, left nothing fitting for your purpose
  Untouch'd or slightly handled in discourse.
