    —J.G. (James Graham)

    That sir which serves and seeks for gain,
    And follows but for form,
    Will pack when it begins to rain,
    And leave thee in the storm.

    I’ll make thee glorious by my pen
    And famous by my sword;
    I’ll serve thee in such noble ways

    I’ll crown and deck thee all with bays,
    And love thee more and more.
    —James Graham Marquess of Montrose (1612–1650)
