George Herbert's verses pinned on the curtain of the picture of old Sir John :

Pass not by : search and you may

find a treasure worth your stay.

What makes a Danvers would you find ?

In a fair body, a fair mind.

Sir Jonh Danver's earthy part

Here is copied out by art :

but his heavenly and divine

in his progeny does shine.

Had he only brought them forth

know that much had been his worth.
